Let's first focus on what we need to create a first prototype version of
it, link somehow with libpeas [1] and then we can start adding staging
areas and flowers and rainbows.

I mean, obviously that there are lot of things to work out, but it would
get more interest from developers and users if there's something to play
with.

For example we can start allowing only themes (for gnome-appearance
capplet and gedit color styles) and backgrounds (again for
gnome-appearance capplet).

Then after this works successfully we can add snippets for Anjuta,
plugins for EOG, GNOME Shell and gedit and so on.

My 5 cents,

Cheers,
