Sounds like a good idea. Currently a replacement OS exists, even a platform independent one (sort of). With Minimig released and a Minimig board commercially available the possibilities does like brighter for new hardware.
Judging from the content of this thread, one of the first tasks would be to weed out the talkers and focus on those people that can do something usefull (like design hardware or program).
I have been toying with thought of pulling AROS 68K out of unmaintained, but this is a huge task and having a consortium where decisions could be taken what direction the Amiga platform should take hardware wise would be nice. Then development could be focused in a future direction, not only aiming backwards.
I can offer hardware design skills (VHDL, analog and digital electronics) and programming (A68k). But my time is severly limited.
