Jokosher has been cutting edge for a lot of things. It has almost become an unofficial policy to do things no one else is doing because we think its the proper way. Things like gstreamer-ladspa integration come to mind, and certainly telepathy integration has never been attempted in the way that we want to, but so far that hasn't stopped us from trying. I would rather Jokosher _is_ the first test case, since we can make it an optional dependency.

This should perfectly work. Are extensions and presets stored somewhere in the user's home directory? Otherwise, there are some issues getting write access.
Extensions/presets are already stored in the users home directory, so that will not be a problem.
Indeed, it is pretty new. But as I mentioned before for the beginning NewStuffManager could be an optional dependency. If actually more people use it (what hopefully will happen with Deskbar-Applet having that support in Gnome 2.18) I can figure out if problems exist. And Jokosher including support for NewStuffManager, will definitively help there. The problem is if nobody is willing to work with a more or less "untested" version it won't get major either.
Exactly. If we decide this is the way we want to go, there is absolutely no reason why we should wait on others to do it first.
