Implement a new feature in Nautilus that looks up newly available scripts
or wallpapers from gnome.org in the background, then measure hits?

Incidentally I think it'd be cool to turn GNOME About into a
generic-credits program so projects without any obvious UI (ie, operating
system level projects) can drop some magic files in a magic location and
get their 15 minutes of fame :)
