A project that I think should garner support would be SqueakNOS.
Investigate getting around the problem kf snapshotting the image by doing
away with the idea of snapshotting to a file. Files require a file system.
It needs an object memory system with an immutable, protected kernel memory
and a separate "user memory". Spoon looks very promising as a way to
accomplish this.

Perhaps work on the multi-threaded cog VM would get some support. Having
another virtual machinist in the family couldn't hurt...

Just some suggestions from an I treated observer
