Pup is this new "non threatening" yum front-end, right? Could we see
screenshots of its current state at least?

At the moment I'm not really convinced you can make a non-threatening yet
useful frontend over a system like apt or yum ... short of asking people
to embed Fedora specific information straight into web pages (which would
suck massively) you can't get away from the huge list UI. Even if it's
restricted to applications like what Ubuntu are doing, you still end up
trying to give users the Ultimate Applications Menu.

What I'm saying is, I'd really like to get more details on the UI thinking
behind pup.
