This definitely belongs in a 'faq for newbies' page/wiki/thread. We really need a compilation of 'What is xyz ROM and why should I be interested in it?' articles somewhere in here.

kind of a noob question here but can someone please tell me whats the difference between AOSP and AOKP thanks

AOKP is an AOSP rom. AOSP means it is based on the Android Open Source Project...AOKP is a name of the rom...I think the only non-AOSP roms available on the gnex is MIUI and MIUI based but you can argue they are AOSP based...
And to add slightly more...kang is a word that is somtimes misconstrued to mean stealing other's work and to some it has a negative connotation. In reality though, it's starting with another's work and building on it to (hopefully) make it better. It makes sense that most devs appreciate being mentioned when their work is in play within a particular rom so that's why we often see a list of mentions when various tweaks/mods/etc are utilized.

I think the theory behind AOKP is to create the ultimate melting pot of dev efforts into one rom. Basically try to make the best possible end product by conjoining efforts of everyone who is willing.

Hope this helps
