That sort of thing would rock. However, I would choose a single aspect of the project, see what people are doing in other distros and make certain not to duplicate their effort. Here are several discrete pieces I could see: 1. Improvement of tablet apps. I would love to see Tomboy support drawing via a canvas 2. Autoconfig of X (when turning, etc.) I have also cc'ed the -devel-discuss list, where further discussion shoudl probably take place.
