I think this is great! It sounds like a good opportunity. The proposed tasks look great, though I worry that things may take longer than forecast. (I would love to be wrong, though.) It just sounds like a GTK interface + usage monitoring and visualization + Snap functionality could be a very large undertaking, and in some cases it relies on things that are still emerging. (For example, we don't really have an effective means of getting statistics from instances right now, and I suspect getting Matahari[1] integrated might be a prerequisite to being able to report on usage.) I'm all for aiming high; I just don't want anyone to be penalized for optimistic estimates. Content-wise, I think it's a terrific list. -- Matt [1] http://matahariproject.org/
