Here is a question for you.

We only have a finite number of web developers.

Would you prefer that they spent the next 3 months working on..

a) Creating yet another compiz site (forum, wiki, blog, migrating 
threads etc etc)?
OR
b) Creating your flash based settings tool with spinning minicube?

The choice is yours.  I do not mind either way, although option A does seem
like a bit of a waste of time in the cold light of day doesn't it?
