Sorry, but your questions & text (see mega line above, no folds ! Ugh) tell me
A) You dont know enough, & would be better working with an existing
project, be it a BSD Linux Minix Sprite Mach whatever. Maybe
also doing some formal training in OSs eg a Uni. degree
in computing or whatever.
B) You havent realised technology is moving faster & with ever more
more people working on OSs & tools, its like looking in
from the edge of an exploding galaxy & trying to understand
all within: by the time you do, its grown !
C) If people devoted tons of time over years to help you along,
it would be their & your time wasted to achieve anothernice
OS time that would be better spent if you & they worked
together on improving an existing OS - see (A) above.
Sorry it's not what you want to hear but modern OS are too big for
1 man, & evolving too fast, even those called Jollitz Tannenbaum or
Linus, got replaced/ supplemented by Teams. Choose a project team & an
aspect/ technology within the team, & that will be useful not a waste of time.
