Well actually, if Riccardo will succeed with porting kickoff to it, then it 
would be great! But seems to be the harder way to go...
Also Kickoff is not TOM-based... so what I would vote for is:
->Do Raptor from the existing design (DataPlugin, UiPlugin, BackgroundPlugin) 
till someone comes with a specific better idea ... (how to put a Menu-
structure into a DataEngine?!)...

->I will do the DataPlugin stuff when I come back from Berlin on 8th 
September, it would be great if till then there would be some working demo of 
some menuitems rendered on the background (aka UiPlugin)...

->Try to do some basic raptor first, without all those animations

->Polish it later up with the Animations

->The UiPlugin-Author shoudl get in touch with pinheiro in the meantime...

Comments?!
