  My suggestion would be a good CD burning application.  I considered
porting k3b to JavaGnome but haven't gotten very far.  I don't think it
would be too difficult to port an existing C++ app to JavaGnome, Gnome would
get a really nice CD/DVD authoring tool, and once it's in Java I think
development could progress much more quickly than the C++ version.  I don't
want to cause trouble or get people all worked up by forking k3b, but I
think it would be a great "proof-of-concept" without running into problems
of either writing an application no one uses or an application getting
started but having people lose interest.  Just my $.02. -- Dan
