The proposed design for Voyager, which aims to become an OS/2 replacement, is now available. "Voyager is the codename for the idea of having a replacement OS/2 on top of modern technology. This idea is the result of around 1.5 years of thinking a lot about what we can do in the future as current OS/2 and eComStation users. Note that it's absolutely impossible to convey what we plan to do in a few sentences. I made a speech on it at Warpstock Europe 2005 that, by itself, took 1.5 hours so you get the point." Read the Voyager FAQ to understand what it actually is and aims to become.

"...however, let's look at this objectively: This is not the first time that people have 'reinvented x'."
They are not going for a reinvention of X, they're going for a free reimplementation of WPS/PMShell, using existing technologies like Cairo.
X and WPS/PMShell are two very different animals.
