This paper describes the design of the kaneton microkernel. This system was designed to be ported on many architectures without being intrusive. Moreover, the main goal of this system was to be understandable by everyone interested in operating systems internals. To do so, the kaneton design and implementation are very elegant and easy to understand. Finally, the kaneton microkernel includes modern distributed concepts leading to a powerful, secure, flexible and reliable microkernel based OS. Note: This is the first entry to our Alternative OS Contest which runs through 14th July!

I could not stop reading this article. The only part I had a little trouble understanding was section 5, portability. Other than that it was a great read.
While some of the concepts seemed new, most of them, I believe, have been implemented in one way or another in different kernels. I guess that the way in which they were implemented makes them unique.
It all sounds like a fun project!
