There are several things that we are not going to implement soon, that
any other one
could take, should it be interesting.

One is to implement other viewers for omero (in Inferno), so that a
different kind of
feel (eg., one for non-programmers) could be available.

Another one is to write a unix library compatible with a popular
widget interface, but
running against omero instead of using X. That way, unix apps using
that inferface could
exploit both inferno and omero.

There are more ideas, but we're quite busy right now with the octopus
in general.
In particular, omero for the octopus and a silly paper is getting 90%
of my time.

Thought I should say this, just in case :)
