This is interesting. (Though honestly it just looks to be a prettier
version of virt-manager?)

It would be pretty nifty to add Deltacloud support, as you say. Or maybe
Aeolus support. Right now Aeolus feels like it's more targeted at
enterprise users, but I'm not sure it has to be. It could be a really
awesome way to manage a couple of cloud deployments, whether it's
hosting your website or running something compute-intensive.

I'm not sure I have any cycles to volunteer, but I like the idea.
