I would basically use the Hak.5 version as a testing platform for changes. Which is what I did for the Shmoocon version, (yes I made a nUbuntu just for mubix to give out at Shmoocon).
I think I would like to try out Enlightenment on the release, I myself can't do the graphical things such as wallpaper, someone else would have to do this stuff.
If people would like the idea, please message me on the forums, with your ideas.
