Just going to toss this out there: Here's the website for the parent project. This OS has been a research toy since 2001, and it still doesn't have any more than a prototype GUI on its best supported platform, i386. There doesn't appear to be essentially any third party applications and the OS architecture differs substantially enough from UNIX (no "fork" or "exec") that making ports of most Open Source software is going to be rather difficult. (Not impossible to be sure; my ignorant reading of how the OS handles processes makes it sound vaguely similar to Windows and the POSIX compatibility layers for that... kinda work, but it certainly isn't going to be a simple "just recompile it" port. The system is also going to be lacking X which means any GUI software is going to pose some interesting challenges.)

In that light the schedule described in the Kickstarter seems... optimistic, but that's all I'm going to say.
