semi-OT: if you want to send some pictures / screenshots or whatever, i'd be 
intersted in blogging about your work in this area on p.k.o.

if we coordinate this a bit (e.g. ensure that the mobile project submissions 
are sufficiently differentiated) i don't see why we couldn't have more than 
one successful project approved. if we were to get just 3 plasma related WoC 
projects, i'd be very happy if 2 of them were mobile related.

=) ok, well, maybe i can spend some time thinking of some possible concrete 
projects/goals to help the wheels start turning.

perhaps others on the list have ideas they are willing to share as well.
