Well ... i think gnome is getting its (small) man power badly used.
Rhythmbox is a full featured  music player, supported officially by
gnome (so in gnome's hands). Just hack on it a new UI and *expand* the
features. You can also provide a Rhythmbox-ng as option until the
development is not complete. Or you could just simply provide an
integrated media player (joining Totem and rhythmbox).

I believe that it would be nicer to see *new* development in a calendar
(i think it is going on), email, rss, twitter application because it is
true that evolution, unfortunately sucks (or oficially drop it and adopt
thunderbird). RhythmBox does his job well at least.
