The Google Doc has the proposal at the bottom. Basically, take the bottom half of Oberon and slap on the top half of Squeak*, bara-bim bara-boom - you've a next-gen OS.
*Or SBCL + Dylan
The whole schpiel is to make a high-level interactive OS / computing environment that straddles the line between interpreter and compiler. The whole is is run in-memory, and can be snapshotted and restored quickly. No filesystem, just RAM.
Interesting idea, I guess :)
