@Jaroslav: The idea is to have a way to communicate Fedora with the user and
viceversa... If Fedora has another Important Bug like the "Update One" in
Fedora 13
"Hermes" will tell the user inmediatly and it will say the user how to fix
it. The idea is to have not only a notification system, but also a way to
keep the user in touch with Fedora.

I think that if there's already a plasma widget for a RSS Feed Parser (Or a
screenlet in case of gnome) we can start working from there... I'll also
would like to offer the user a "search bar" in hermes
that uses fedora's database to give search results to the user, so when
someone using fedora wants to know a "HowTo" instead of using Google,
they'll have the option of "Fedora answering them"

@Garret: Many things are not the job of an operating system already... The
idea is to transform Fedora in more that just software... Let's transform it
into a intelligent enviroment concerned about it's users
and powered by it's community...
