Comment 2 for bug 672766

There is already a blueprint for this here:
  https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/multimedia-dx-n-basic-visual-touch-feedback

The session was held recently at UDS and the notes are available on gobby.ubuntu.com (requires gobby 0.5) in the "multimedia" section. I would recommend creating a brainstorm with the information you have provided in this ticket. Checkout the site here:
  http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/
Once you do so, be sure to link your brainstorm to the multitouch wiki page:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch#Brainstorming

Please note:
Bug tickets on launchpad represent a unit of work (e.g., bugs and tasks), and this ticket you have created assumes a fairly large number of development tasks. As such, this ticket will eventually be marked as invalid, only because the scope is too big. You have some great ideas, and I'l like to see them get the attention they deserve. There's a good chance that most or all of them will get covered the the course of addressing this (and next) cycle's design and UX work on touch, but it's better to be safe than sorry :-)
