For those of you who may be interested, OpenMediaVault was released not long ago, my fist impression is that it is a well polished product that I believe could serve as a good template for a FreedomBox.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmediavault/ I currently have it running on x86 hardware. http://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-amd-e-350-apu-barebone-zbox-ad10-u.html It will be interesting to see if it can be shoehorned on to one of my plug computers (Dockstar running Debian). It seems like a nice basis for someone who wants to set up a Debian box with a slick GUI for managing many common administrative tasks without editing config files. The OMV developer has stated it was designed to be extensible, so there is no reason the front end could not be expanded to include more services focused around the FreedomBox goals. Some of the services it supports configuring from the GUI by default are: SSH, NFS, SNMP, rsync, Samba, and FTP.
