I _WANT_ this! 
(For my co-workers, more than for me :)
(And ultimately for all users of Chandler Project, of course :))

OK, it's time for shameless BRIBERY. 

I have a very few spare invitations (nominations) for Google Wave Preview.
I'm willing to give one to the first person who comes up with a suitably
simple page for re-purposing. If two or three people combine efforts, one
invitation per person. Muahahahahaha!

The page should ideally: 

a) work well without a mouse

b) when re-purposed: fit neatly into a widget, not too large, that may 
   float above the desktop (and possibly, above other windows; 
   not necessarily constrained to the Dashboard of Mac OS X)

c) be tactile (I imagine a future touchscreen device from Apple).

A balance between compactness for (b) and size for (c) may be tricky, and
there's some guesswork to the Apple side of point (c), so let's not treat
(c) as an obstacle to development. 

It may be that Jeffrey's design fits all three criteria already :)

Hmm. Will Google Wave consume, or save you time? If you don't try it, you'll
never know ;)

Page, please. Anyone. Pretty please. And if Google Wave Preview is not the
bribery you want, then I might find something more interesting, less
nebulous. Chat to me off-list. 

Yours shamelessly, 
Perrin, G.

PS, dreaming ludicrously that someone from Apple will read this post and
send me a future-device for evaluation subject to NDA.
