Intriguing idea.  One of the issues with vi traditionally has been the user
loses track of which mode they are in.  Combating this for a wm would be
interesting.

have heard good things about pygame .....

my big wish would be a mailer that allows gui access but still lets people have
a console as well.  I have really been spoiled by gui mailer's ability to show
me all of my folders at once (I have 30+) and let me know where new mail is
waiting.

interesting, you need to choose whether to go 100% irc or also support all of
the IM clients of the world

not sure about non-programmers but a python for VB or BASIC would be
interesting.  Especially now that 2.2 has properties and what not.
