Make sure you talk to the handhelds.org-people also.  The familiar
distributions goal is to create a working X-based environment (mostly
using gtk but...).  I think this is going to be used by alot of people
that for some reason doesn't like QT or none-X-based environment (like
me :) )

The big problems is that they are python-fans most of them (nothing
wrong with that.. just makes getting ruby in there hard :) ).

Now.. do we really want to bind to a specific language??  Maybe we want
to script everything over soap or xml-rpc or something like that?
