A few tips: I don't have the programming experience to write an OS yet, maybe in a few years (think: 5 or more and after learning and learning all I can about programming and computers) I might try, but if I did have the experience, I would not want to work for someone who cannot spell assembly or commission, nor would I feel that a cut of 5% of the profits would be even close to enough for my time. I would rather work for a donation (or for the fun of it) and release the OS for free than sell it and take only 5%.

How much programming experience do you have? Do you think you can make something that the public needs or wants and is willing to pay for? Some things to consider before you start on a project of that magnitude.

A few more questions:

How far along is this project? What's so good about it? How much money do you reasonably expect to make, and why? And what the fook is "binary graphics"? :p

Why do you need three assembly programmers? One to write the code and two to make sure he did it right? :p Or are you planning on writing the entire OS in assembly?

I'm up for Binary Graphics Designer If he means "One who edits graphic files in a hex editor" by that.

I would gladly do your entire OS for free, quitting school and all other engagements, hobbies and activities to dedicate my life to it, if only I knew how to pronounce the name. Sorry.

Link-sis.

Now that you can say the name, looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you .

I do know assembly and would be glad to help as for binary graphics, I don't know what you mean. But anyways, yes, I am willing to help.

i don't know anything about progrogramming, much less programming operating systems, however i can provide advice as a consumer.

don't call it linxis, it will never get popular
1. it's similar to linux
2. it's difficult to pronounce, doesn't flow off the tongue, and hard to remember
3. it's also VERY similar, phoenetically, to Linksys, a popular network hardware company
