But what is it? The README is just a bunch of screenshots and disjointed comments about what features it has listed in no particular order. It would be great if there was some summary from a birds eye view of what the project actually is.

I think the "what" was intended to be covered by the initial flurry of contents, "MIMD, multi CPU, multi threaded, multi core, multi user Parallel OS".

Caveat: I'm not a lisp-person, however:

It looks like a modern interpretation of a Lisp machine -- a "real" Lisp, where the entire environment is a Lisp, and you can network and do GUI stuff and OS stuff in Lisp, running either in a hosted environment or maybe on bare metal eventually.

Looks like OS with Lisp all the way down
