Let me quote this guy again:
"I'm doing a (free) operating system, (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) clones."

Money will come in if your code actually gets deployed.

You aren't going about this the FOSS way. You are still thinking in the
"we need a company and funding" mode. What is needed is slightly ...
different. You don't need a team of developers. You need a team of CAs.

We have an application already. The code is out there[1]. Take it, run with
it. What Kenneth doesn't have is a CA. So can one or more of the CAs on
this list provide input to him on getting things working[2]?

Kenneth, does Python have non wxWidgets bindings? Until more
distributions ship wxWidgets natively, that library is a PITA. If not,
can someone clone the UI in Gtk2/QT? I know Perl has bindings for both
these, so doing that in Perl would be trivial.

(If you are doing it in Gtk2, the XML file generated from Glade2 would
be good enough, just use glade2perl2 to generate your UI code from
there).
