Your project looks interesting, thank you for the link. As a Java/XML/DB guy myself I realize the importance of good tools for turning business processes and workflows into working prototypes and overcoming the verbosity of these languages. I'm now following your project on Github and hope to install it and try it out soon. Best wishes!
As a test, pan your head from left to right and notice the "jumpiness" that is reality. Now, eat about a half gram of shrooms, and do the same thing. It is no longer jumpy, and you get a REAL smooth pan.
Do the same test, but hold out your finger a foot or two in front of your eyes and move your finger with your head. Focusing on the finger, you now see a smooth transition of the background. The "jumpiness" you experience without it is simply your eyes trying to fix on any number of objects as you are panning (my layman's interpretation). I can get the smooth transition without using the finger crutch, by "defocusing" my eyes, but only panning left to right... I can't do it right to left. My guess is it has something to do with the years upon years of eye training, reading from left to right.

You'll also need a permit for commercial filming
Exactly. Here is the definition for "commercial filming", from the same source:
Commercial filming—use of motion picture, videotaping, sound recording, or any other moving image or audio recording equipment on National Forest System lands that involves the advertisement of a product or service, the creation of a product for sale, or the use of models, actors, sets, or props, but not including activities associated with broadcasting breaking news, as defined in FSH 2709.11, chapter 40.
I find this far too encompassing. Sets or props could apply to just about anything. See that tent in the photo you're taking? Looks like a prop to me.
Prop (noun): a stick, rod, pole, beam, or other rigid support.
The terms, they are muddy. This slope is getting slippery.
It's great to see how others utilize open source software. Last year myself and some friends started MT Radio.Net. We are Community Internet Broadcasting, showcasing Montana talent and more. Staying away from FM/AM transmission allows us to operate uncensored with material that is sometimes explicit. Importantly, it has allowed us to begin broadcasting with very little overhead or financial investment. With donated microphones and mixing consoles and many hours programming, our NEW Player (beta) is now up and running!
With this new custom player we rotate band images as their music plays. Next feature to add is chat room for the live shows. However, though I have much help running the station I am the sole developer here, so these things take time. I'm using software such as ICECast, MPD, and Tomcat with custom code all running on Gentoo Linux. JACK is used on the input PC and I use Audacity for editing. WordPress is also used (with integrated automated posting). I wrote a BASH-like "web" shell language called IOVAR that is the foundation for the MT Radio.Net operations dashboard and player.
If any other developers want to help work on any of this stuff let me know (reply here), it'd be great to collaborate!
Chill. "M$" is close enough to "MS" that I bet many people don't interpret it in a derogatory fashion. In fact, I think it's a rather cool re-branding. Anyways, I don't whine when people call Linux linux, linus, lennox, GNU/Linux, whatever. Besides, you're the first to be throwing out the term "Microshaft" on this story's forum here; perhaps you're just here to feed the trolls!
I like what Xiki is shooting for and look forward to trying it out. I have a similar interest in finding new ways to interact with a command shell. One such feature would be a shell and simple commands (in the Unix spirit) that natively work with URI resources rather than simply (local) file handles and sockets. My attempts to achieve this over the past 5 years has resulted in what I call IOVAR (hosted on Google Code and iovar.com), a BASH-like shell for the web written in Java and currently running in Tomcat on Linux. It supports a mix of shell scripts and single-purpose servlets, among a mix of any other system commands, to easily chain together processes that work with web resources.
IOVAR works, I've been using it to build a new back-end services and front-end player for our community Internet radio station MT Radio.Net. We'll be launching the new system July 4th!
I'm glad to see there are others that are finding really cool ways to improve our interaction with the PC, and this Xiki looks interesting! Now if I could just complete some more documentation and ease the installation for IOVAR, in combination with the working use cases I've now built, it could turn into something. But I really could use the help! The entire stack is open-source and everything I have written is MIT-licensed.
I would like to mention my pet project, IOVAR, hosted on Google Code. One of its goals is to aid in rapid development/prototyping as it bring shell scripting concepts to the web. IOVAR is currently in a usable state but lacks a "getting started" guide so I won't yet call it a beta release. I've licensed it with MIT license and would love some feedback or help!
Web-mail is just implemented poorly, pretty much everywhere. I get a lot of use out of email and sieve filtering with nested folders in a functional hierarchy. IMAP makes for a good (generic) message-handling protocol, but mail clients are lacking features. I'd like a federated contact/messaging/calendar client and server that someone could run as their own service if they wanted. It could expose via IMAP access to stored chat or SMS messages in addition to email, from any number of sources/accounts. As a client, it needs to let me maintain a customizable client view, where for example IMAP folders that can be listed in any particular order, not necessarily alphabetically or based on their archival storage hierarchy.
As to UI design and separating form from function, I have spent the past few years (slowly) developing a server-side shell-like environment on Linux+Java/Tomcat, with a focus on XML and rapid-prototyping, quick database access. Just about to go beta as I add some more documentation: http://iovar.com./

And the nanorods still corrode, something they say needs to be addressed. I think this takes the practical efficiency below 100%.
...showed that the idea is sound.
Funny, I thought the idea was light.

Gentoo users will make a Debtoo
SystemD is merely a USE option in Gentoo, and (so far) has been easy to avoid. No fork necessary.
Really, you should use `locate` or `find`, as `which` only locates executables that are in your search path.
We can't truly "own" land, anyways. We only lease it from the public commons, and property taxes are one way to balance this out.
Please, keep the FCC out of my Internet!

It's a problem with your email client. Messaging and browsing clients are still somewhat in the stone-ages, IMHO.

Oh, no applets! All server-side Java for IOVAR.
