Hmm... the problem is it's intended to be serious,
but is still far from exposure-ready.
So if I talk about it now, I risk having specific terms I've coined in the doco
(including
the project name) getting meme-jammed or trademarked by others. The plan is to release
it
all in one go, eventually. Definitely will be years before that happens, if ever.
However, here's a cut-n-paste (in plain text) of a section of the
Introduction (html with diags.)
Without pushing too hard to get you to reveal more than you are
comfortable with, I really like what you wrote, and hope that someday we
can participate in some aspects.
I would like to see some acknowledgement that some things are truly flaws
in the original design, whereas some others are ideas for further
expansion and enhancement.
It's probably not going to be possible to objectively differentiate which
are which.
And, as typified by Intel X86 V Motorola 68000, incremental kludges
permit compatability and trivial ease of migration, whereas a design from
scratch permits correcting aspects that would otherwise be stuck, at the
expense of massive software re-creation.
