I'm extremely fond of it as well. I just think it's time for something  
a bit new. Wearing the same pair of pants every day, no matter how  
awesome (and assuming you wash them regularly) is going to get a  
little bit boring.

Nice idea!

We were thinking of trying to get 1.0 out by Halloween. So, over two  
months. We could totally do it. Does anyone else think this sounds  
like a really, really sweet idea? I'll bet if we get Phill Ryu and  
various other important Mac bloggers we can end up with a totally  
sweet design.

I'm willing to do the lion's share of the work on planning,  
organizing, and promoting this -- along with Zac, of course, since  
he'll be the one doing the final implementation.
