Thanks for the ideas, pointers and 'gotcha' warnings! Excellent stuff.

I've drafted http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff/XS_0.7_plan

Graphical UIs... is the only item mentioned here I say no to. I won't
recommend them, and won't do anything to help them happen, as they
lead to (a) actions on important files/dirs from a graphical file
manager, and (b) users trying to use the System -> Administration GUI
panels to manage the server, which is guaranteed to *explode* in many
tiny pieces.

Of course, there are too many things listed there already :-) so I'm
gonna have to focus on some.

cheers,
