We'll try to treat this similarly to a college course taught by a rather forgiving professor. Since we're following littleosbook, we'll set a rate of one chapter per week, which will allow us to complete the "course" in 14 weeks. We should feel free to make as many changes as we want to the OS to improve its design or play around with it. We can branch often for experimentation.
On each date below we'll make it a goal for ourselves to have read the chapter and collaborated on implementing the chapter's respective feature(s).

Let's be verbose with our comments to keep eachother in the loop. Excessive condensation is a false economy!
