What do you need the programmers for?
I know HTML & CSS, PHP, C, Javascript, & SQL. (some assembly&java)
Are you making it based off of Linux or are you going to make an entirely different kind of operating system?

I've once dreamed about making my own operating system, but I didn't try very hard.
I stopped trying, because there was a lot more involved than I had thought about.
I don't know how much you know about software or hardware, and I'm not sure what you've accomplished either.

I don't think there is an easy or smooth way to make an operating system unless you want to build it off of an existing operating system. (or an easy way of explaining how a computer works)
I would imagine you would have to understand C, assembly, hex, then binary. Then I think someone would need to know how to program drivers in a low level language like assembly. Then you would have to understand how hardware works, and how it communicates with software.
After all that then you can understand how a computer works, and you would be able to build a system.

I would be willing to help, but I'm not even sure where to start.
I would imagine the first step would be to make a kernel (like you mentioned on your website) that can interact with all the hardware using drivers.
