Those are all fine with me.  :)

OK, so what type of application or project is everyone interested in?


I am curious about Freddy's comment on the bug helper thing.  In checking it
out a bit on Launchpad, it seems like it's a bunch of python scripts used to
get info about bugs.  Just curious what Freddy was thinking about here.  I
don't know much about it, and am curious to see if others think it would
work well as a desktop app (if that's what we're thinking).

As for the desktop wiki, I know that MoinMoin has both a desktop wiki and a
MoinMoinAsPIM project already.  Those use python.  They already exist, but
we could still contribute to them as projects.

Another idea is to put together a gui network manager for Xfce, similar to
the network-manager-gnome or network-manager-kde, but not dependent on gnome
or KDE libs.   I don't know how difficult that would so I'm not stuck on
that idea.
