IRC Channel - #unixhub-distro

Proposed general outline: tbd (bleeding edge, minimal, rolling, etc.)

After some semi-serious conversation in the IRC, the idea of restarting, forking, or making a new distro inspired by ArchBSD was brought up. In an attempt to shift the focus of Unixhub to a more collaborative coding community, a project such as a distro, released under the Unixhub license, could be a major asset in both spreading knowledge of distro construction, GNU/Linux, as well as the inner-workings of working on large-scale projects.

I believe that the focus should be on a strong integration of a bleeding edge and rolling release model, including default Wayland integration, as well as a serious focus on a politically neutral development ethic. As for using a BSD kernel at the core, however, I do believe that to make use of the massive community of developers and corporations (Intel, Google, etc.), a Linux kernel is simply more reasonable. Desktop performance is simply not there in the BSD kernel; this is not a BSD vs GNU/Linux thread, simply a factual statement that BSD can not compare to the Linux kernel for desktop performance, which is the target audience for a project like this (desktop, not servers, or embedded). Modern hardware can only be utilized to the fullest extent with a Linux kernel.

I have never made a distro, or at least never finished one. I have played with LFS before, but nothing with a team, and nothing to completion. That being said, there is a lot that goes into distro; the many levels of development, in both complexity, and specificity, would allow the project to take off quickly with many developers of various skill sets.

Is there anyone that would be interested in a collaborative project of this sorts, to really exercise this community's abilities?
