We can definately help with this as we took Isaac Dealey initial framework and finished and made it a working framework by adding the additional events and replacing the rest of the links necessary to make this work. However, all this did was simply provide a mg wrapper to include the correct views by a model-glue event-handler. The biggest problem with this is that galleon does not abstract the link locations, so incorporating view changes that contained bug fixes is a manual process. This was nice because it was easy to incorporate your own security or other pre-written MG broadcast, but otherwise didn't buy us much. I could see this being helpful for theming but what are your thoughts on how much you want to truely fork galleon into a MG project?
What I would love to see is more effort and support around actionpacks. I think that's one of the least explored but most powerful feature of MG. There is currently not much documentation, sample resouces or central repository around this. If we did work together for a project like event / conference management I would push to have that contain a series of reusable actionpacks (payment actionpack, event management actionpack, etc). We could then kick-off a actionpack listing or repo where. We could add these and allow others to add them as well, similar to a cflib or riaforge. That's what I would really like to see some effort put into as we push for standard ways to build components that can be reused using MG. We have several that we can contribute as well as this has been a big focus for us internally.
