I have a very good feeling about this, the goals are reasonable and within reach.  AROS had neither.

Had?   :-o

I'm confused as to what this will be when it is released? So will it run any Amiga software? What makes it different from all the other OS's out there?

[tonyyeb]

Is there a 'market' for an OS that runs modern software but 'feels' like an Amiga... and doesn't run any Amiga software natively?

Either it's an Amiga or it aint!

[tonyyeb]

Well if they are starting from scratch, would it make it easier to have a similar "OS9 in a box" approach to Amiga/UAE? Make an Amiga workbench application (at least, games could be WHDLoad style?) when double clicked appear to run natively but really it is emulated.

Why not wait until full details are out. At the moment there is just speculation about what people may or may not have heard in IRC channels.

Can someone get an interview with a developer? There isn't much info here:

So basically AROS with a kernel transplant?

Nope. The facts:

* It will not be an AROS fork
* It will not be aimed at an Amiga 3.1 compatible operating system
* A stripped Linux kernel will form part of it

I will reserve my judgement for a first release. I'm not a fan of making opinions of stuff that isn't even released yet. Good luck and hopefully you will blow our socks off!
