The nautilus plug-in sounds like a good idea, but I am not sure how I
would set it up.  What would you suggest?  A wizard-like interface? 
What would the application look like?

I was just planning on hacking a bit on the current application, but it
looks like a shell without any backend.

I would like to hack around on this project if anyone could come up with
some nice interface ideas.

Thanks.
