This sounds like a great idea - best wishes with it!

(Two unimportant notes:

 1. It may involve some ideas previously discussed under the name of
    "GUMM", but I shouldn't worry too much about that - what we really
    need is for someone to just _do_ something, that can then be
    incrementally refined with usage.

 2. I'd hope that it doesn't stay downloadable as a single tarball for
    long!)
