What does everyone here think of my design? Would anyone here be interested in contributing?
Well, your ideas sound not bad, but also like a LOT of work. And as always, you will see the real problems of your ideas only if you actually try to implement them. So, better start implementing instead of thinking about how the GUI should work ;)
Although I'm wondering a bit that you want to focus on real-time (as the name contains that), but did not speak about that at all...
as you want to build a UNIX-like microkernel-based OS, it might be interesting for you to look at my OS, Escape [1]. It is some mixture of UNIX, Plan 9 and L4, I would say. It is not directly related though, but completely written from scratch and also UNIX-like at its heart in contrast to emulating that on top. However, since it does not consider real-time, you probably don't want to use it, but perhaps it's interesting to see how it works.
I downloaded an older version of your OS a while back. Didn't really look all that closely at the source though. I'll have to look at it a bit closer, although its architecture seems to be rather different from how UX/RT will be.
Ok. Actually, many ideas sound similar except that you want to implement them in the root-task instead of the kernel (which makes sense when using Fiasco.OC, of course). Anyway, your project still sounds interesting.
Best regards, Nils
