IMHO, this seems like the sort of thing that would benefit from a
discussion session at the upcoming FUDCon where there will be members of
the Fedora Design team and the main coders of Bodhi. Not that I want to
do it in secret, but coming up with a solid battle plan that also has
the decent UI (in a mockup) as a first step seems like a better plan to
success.
