songtheme in the back  :)......
But I think deep down what riccardo is saing is the same Aaron is just not so 
well structured... So i propose the folowind convince Celleste to help me  
and some others to create a small team that can do that aaron just 
elaborated. I'm prety busy in KDE as is and taking this joob alone would be 
prety hard specilay the documentation bit, (we all know my writen english 
skils).   

BTW aaron I'm taking some chairs on the local university about usability, it 
seems I was needing those to do my other real life work :)
