Right, {been there. done it}.

- usable "installable" for non-platform experts

- tools have to work on the 2+1 platforms (no idea, I myself cannot  
compare)

- create+provide community-support-contents:

-1 "certify" users so that they can *really* participate
-1 and not run away "doesn't work for me/my PC, is crap"

-2 a reception for "where's my party"

-3 host many parties (Kernel, Framework(s), App(s), etc)

The above is *not* much, and I believe Cobalt is getting hotter -- we'll  
have a Cobalt-hot summer :)
