Don't waste FreeBSD people's time, asking advice how to waste your time, with no benefit to FreeBSD. We're better ignoring that & using send-pr to send patches to FreeBSD on anything else we choose :-) If you want to be a useless lone wolf Not contributing to FreeBSD, do just that, go away & don't freeload for help. I hope instead you'll want to work as a team member & contribute where you think best, but If you want to screw around with an OS on your own - Do It On Your Own. As to who I am, it shouldn't matter as an idea should stand or fall on its merits, but in case it's a genuine question: I'm someone who learnt in 1983 that H/W for OS's evolves faster than small teams can keep up. Who saw a waster in 80s/90's who wanted to rewrite everything, & contributed nothing. Who saw OSs evolve faster than individuals, & knows team work is required, each dividing into specialisms to support the aggregate OS.
