I've noticed what appears to be a lot of new development of new GUIs for 
Linuxcnc lately.  Here is an idea that I would love to see implemented in a new 
GUI, but I do not have the programming skills to implement it.  For our 
production machines it would be nice for the supervisors to be able to set up a 
que of g-code files for shifts to run.  The que would be a list of g-code 
files, and their location paths (possibly a network location), the number of 
repeats to run, and possibly a material to be used description.  Then the 
machine operators would simply unload/load the machine, and press start, once 
the required number of runs is completed the gui would automatically load the 
next g-code file in the que and prompt the user what material to load for the 
next run.  How hard might something like this be to implement?
