Are you aware of Lovelace?  It could use your help and you can learn a
lot by studying the existing sources.  It is small enough for one person
to understand.  The last thing I heard was that it could boot in qemu
and had virtual memory management and exception handling.

There used to be a web site, http://lovelace.fr, but is is down ATM.
The sources are still available on Ada-France's monotone server:
