I suspect we need to get our documentation ducks in order before that outside help will be very useful. I agree that the aspiration should be something like the uC/OS II book which Greg mentioned, while dated at this point is very well written and highly technical reference. This was one of my first OS reference books many years ago. But also this book was written by the author of the OS. https://www.amazon.com/MicroC-OS-II-Kernel-CD-ROM/dp/1578201039 There are great examples recently of books that I think fit this bill and have continued to be developed in the public forum. One great example is The Rust Book https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ The main authors are major contributors to the Rust project, but many others have contributed and continue to contribute to that. We have a long way to go, but we can get there :) --Brennan
