   * WebOS [[http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1597|html/css/javascript]] Webkit? Mozilla Prism?

 * Create/Use a SDK to attract more developers. It would be nice to have a consistent,centralized,easy way for developers to create application for Ubuntu/Ubuntu Liquid
 * Footprint
   * may still be large for maverick
   * for maverick+1 work to get it small
