That's a quick summary. I've been casually following the developments of this project for a while now ever since it showed up on the radar of OSDev and from there Something Awful which has a talent for curating the uniquely surreal.
It's an achievement on the scale of Henry Darger's collection (http://www.folkartmuseum.org/darger) and perhaps stands alone as an example of "outsider art" in the world of operating system design.
Thanks for the link. It really helped me gain a deep appreciation of the person behind all the dead links and to understand what an amazing Hacker he is.

It's more art than OS, and the art world is all the more interesting from having people with wildly divergent viewpoints.
My only disappointment is there isn't a proper Wikipedia page for this project.
The comments from the dead are rather...enlightening.
There's a lot of interesting detail in the Metafilter thread about an earlier version: http://www.metafilter.com/119424/An-Operating-System-for-Son...
