Sure, we are looking forward the project. Once we have the uses cases it can 
help a lot some designers I recruited to help us with this. For sure it 
will be something like Emmanuel already mocked up and due to that, everything 
he gets done for SoC (if the project is accepted ;)) will be valuable!

Sure...the only problem I see with posting things in planet to get feedback is 
that we get a biased feedback, and I'm looking for the feedback from non 
geek people too. This is where the designers I talked about above are helping 
me...Marco also have a lot of good ideas and for sure we can help Emmanuel a 
lot on this subject =)

Cheers,
