The design document exists and is very good, but is also in French.
It consists of a series of articles in GNU/Linux Magazine France that
has been going on for many months.  The articles are very detailed and
provide all the necessary knowledge.  These articles are about the
Simple Operating System (SOS) (http://sos.enix.org).

I would like to recommend GNU/Linux Magazine France because of an
unrelated series of articles teaching Ada; the September 2005 issue
contains the fifth article in the series, about records.
