Could you let us know what particular attributes you have that make you a good co-ordinator for such a large-scale project. That way we can judge whether it is worth consideration. After all, I wouldn't want to waste my time on a project that is doomed to fail from the start.
- I don't really have any attributes that make me a good co-ordinator, which is why I don't want to be a leader of sorts, and why I want everything to be in a group so people can discuss and possibly work together on things, so everything evolves naturally instead of having some dictator screaming at people to get stuff done and not to complain. I do however will step up to lead the project into this direction in the beginning.

I'm guessing the first thing that you will be working on, to be independent of all code not written by your group, will be an assembler, C compiler (do you plan to use C or some other language?), and a linker. Can we take it that you have already written these essential utilities?
- I have not yet written/completed these utilities, although I did some work on an assembler which was able to assemble for a toy VM of a friend quite some time ago (the source code has been lost in forgotten Dropbox accounts). The experience I gained will help in this project though. I do plan to use C wherever possible in both the kernel and userland, although the bootsector and such will be written in Assembly because they have to be written in it.
