We're living in interesting times, what with all the noise created by
Havoc Pennington in

http://ometer.com/desktop-language.html

I think Python might have a great shot as a more "official" strategic
direction for Linux desktop app development, since it's quite possible
their neither Mono or Java gets picked because they are encumbered.

Some lobbying is needed, of course. Getting something like IBM or
Novell (well, Novell is probably stuck w/ Mono... IronPython, anyone?)
officially endorsing and sponsoring Python would be oh-so-cool.
