Maxime,
If you are looking for a GUI related project for EMC, I'd be pleased to
have someone fix, enhance, take over, rewrite, or own the work I started
on "GWiz". The current version I'm working on is built with python and
wxPython.
See: http://www.se-ltd.com/~lerman/files/GWizEMC.tar.gz for the current
(more or less) snapshot of this project.
For a screen shot, see:

(Note that an earlier effort, using QT has been abandoned by me.)

Thank you very much for the hints. Right now, I decided to postpone
this for a bit later. I'm playing out with PyQt4, I may ask you direct
questions when I'm ready to implement this.
To all, I'm open for gui/use cases suggestions. I plan to use the very
well made QtDesigner to design the main gui. It will allow anyone to
create its own custom GUI (as long as it uses the same actions, and up
to some limits). QtDesigner is quite fantastic, and, in fact, most of
the current kde4 apps are designed with it.
If anyone is interested in giving some input, I'm all ears. I will set
up a (temporarily private) project management website for the ground
works. If anyone is interested I'll just create him an account. We'll
late make it public, but for the moment I prefer keeping it at a
smaller scale.
I plan to have a beta around august.
