Nautilus is a very important part of the desktop (even if users don't 
know what it's name is, but I don't think that matters). It has some 
interesting features that users would be interested in. Apple has a page 
devoted to the Finder, which is somewhat along the lines of what I had 
in mind: <http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/finder/>. It's not a 
project page, but rather an information and "cool features" page.
