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!

First, we are four developers currently working on the reference implementation. Second, the kaneton reference implementation documentation contains three authors.
For the source code, the website explains why we cannot distribute it. Moreover, this year, the source code was distributed to the students.
A distribution will be released soon but will not contain the whole core source code for the same reasons...
For the rest of your comments...
