I think running it as its own project is a great idea, and a perhaps a
leading example of how to use individual livecd concepts as a vehicle
for focused integration work.

You could think about making a strawman set of ideas for community

could use the livecd project as a hook to generate new involvement by
more desktop-centric community members.
