A GNU distro

Hello everybody,

        I'm a long time GNU/Linux user, and after many years of hopping from distro to distro I'm thinking that I'd really love a "GNU distro". I've read the book LFS, and tried to make a distro on my own, but I'm not a system administrator and it's quite difficult for me to make any significant progress. If I understand correctly ALFS is a tool to automate part of this process, but it's still complex for me to get through it.

I'd like to know if anybody is interested enough to start a new project, a new distro (maybe called "GNU") with these characteristics:

- uses a blob-free kernel (linux-libre)
- installs official GNU packages only, from official GNU repos
- after being installed, allows users to add more repos in case they want to install non-gnu software
- source based. This is not really super important to me, but I think it's easier to maintain than having to build all binaries
- the distro should be minimalist, and should only install the necessary software to have a system that boots and does basic things (including a package manager)
- once the base system is installed, the user can proceed to install more software using the package manger (for example a windows manager, text editor, browser, etc.). I believe this could help keeping the distro simple and minimalist

What do you guys think? I can help with this, but as I said I'm no sysadmin so I don't really know how could I contribute.
