Judging by the first few screenshots, it's pretty unlikely. Their
approach seems to be to throw away any UI elements that might give the
user a clue how to use the application and squash everything that
provides useful information until you can't read any of it. I'd be
happy to discuss their ideas with them and see how they fit in with my
(nebulous, unresourced) plans, but if they're more interested in
forking the code, renaming things, and hurfing up a bunch of
screenshots on recreational outrage sites like omgubuntu, that's OK
too.
