unfortunately i wasn't available for the first meeting due to a family 
responsibility. due to my not being there, one of the more important 
requirements got lost:

it needs to integrate well with the panel, dashboard and netbook configuration 
workflow.

i think most of the ideas in the mockup are good, but a two dimensional grid 
with a large amount of metadata in a dedicated side panel just doesn't work 
for the panel or dashboard. it _might_ work for the netbook stuff (though i'm 
doubtful). it's really designed for use on the desktop. 

i don't think much work at all will be lost (if any?), but the layout needs 
some tweaking and the and needs of the panel, dashboard and netbook need to be 
communicated and incorporated into the design.

it really needs to be able to go from a 2D grid into a 1D listing with 
metadata on hover.

i'm also concerned about where we will end up putting install/remove/remote in 
this.

so, not a HUGE set of problems, but things that need to go into the thinking 
now to make this project a full success.
