Backup configuration files and settings like...
- GnuPG keys
- e-mail settings
- contact list
- unit settings (metric/imperial)
- paper size (A4/letter)
- currency
- timezone
- locale settings
- printer configuration
- network configuration
- ...

It should basically do what Apple .Mac sync service does, but on USB-Sticks. This tool should not be an entire backup tool for all kind of data! Only small configuration settings and perhaps some desktop gadgets.

After first time configuration, it could automatically sync the data throught a background daemon started by d-bus, after the usb stick is connected, per example. If a user has GnuPG installed, the possibility to encrypt the data should be offered to the user.

During install, if the usb stick is present, the installer could prompt for import the settings and configure all of them. This would accelerate and simplify the entire installation process.

Thanks to DanRabbit here is the link to Elementary Project

In my opinion, Dan you and your crew should get involved with Ubuntu Artwork guys in order to this idea become true.



========================================================
We could take advantage of the Elementary Icons project, this project came as a response to Oxygen theme for KDE 4.

It only needs a little orange approach (in my opinion) ;-).
