Danks ^_^.  I have some ideas for a mimimalist environment within which
AtomOS could work.  S'why I was asking about the backend stuff before.

Sure, on both counts.  I have a bit of experience hacking on things like the
backend bash daemons in Slax and Ubuntu that handle disk recognition,
process throttling, etc (could be better done in Perl or C, but hey; not
everyone does perl, and writing it in a compiled lingo means distributing
the source).

Also, I'm almost as browser quirks fluent as this
guy<http://www.quirksmode.org/>(though I'm not a very good writer, so
no book to my credit), with one
exception: I'm better at XMLHttpRequest / iFrame / Script include wrangling
(ie: I found out good ways to fall back to other techniques if XMLHttp isn't
working and we're using JSON).  So, I'd really like to have a stab at
debugging cross-browser compatibility issues.

I'd also like to have a hand in separation of design / presentation /
structure / content / behavior of the OS (I've become pretty practiced in
it, so far).

Oh, if anyone wants to see some stuff I've done recently:
http://wwwdev.wharton.upenn.edu/alumni (what I do at my real job - on the
development server 'cos it won't be live 'till monday.  Take a look at the
JS for the navmenu and the tabbed boxes; they're great examples of how I do
JS OOP).

http://www.fordi.org/comics (the neat little dock at the bottom is my work;
the pages are stuff I like to look at.  For some reason, I'm not fond of
bookmarks.  I'm actually working on it; a '+' symbol to add a link, and a
nice interface for choosing the image)
