        Therein lies the catch-22.  *I* personally am interested in 
working on those: trying some new interfaces, widgets, visual cues, etc.  
However, without the platform my options are limited.
        The end result may, or may not look better or worse.  It may
be picked up and improved or die on the vine (like the previous work
I did on FreeCiv). But I won't know until I do some research, and ask
the list if there is any interest.

        So, here I am, asking if there's been an attempt and stating my 
purpose to see if there's interest.
