I think the idea has merit, certainly. Would it be similar to Gnome-Do, except with the added awesome of Ubiquity?
One thing I would be a bit weary about is giving scripts access to my entire desktop experience, rather than just the browser. Keeping that in mind I'd suggest this version of Desktop-Ubiquity also make use of the new limited feeds introduced recently, and have a Web-of-Trust model built in so people better versed at reading code can give their opinion on a feed's safety. If the security implications that are inherent in not having the javascript sandboxed within the browser can be addressed, I'd certainly look forward to this project. I hope someone from the Ubiquity team will weigh in, and that you may get your spot on Summer of Code. Regards, Jeroen.
