There are a few reasons for making this, the main one is to make it easy to install a new updated Official ROM (which prob has bugfixes) & apply one update without losing all of these manufacturer bugfixes. (a lot of mods seem to replace so much)
So the mod will only be a few MB instead of replacing 70MB of manufacturers fixes with a lower version causing incompatibility with libraries & completely losing the point of upgrading.
Also you will be able to install the mod without having to do a factory reset and losing all your settings etc.

So far the things which I actually find useful (and will prob add to the mod) are:

ARM11 Optimizations
New OpenGL Drivers
JIT
Relocation of dalvik-cache
Removal of debug dumps on startup
Volume mod (kernel)
Gallery3D (replace gallery completely)
Removal of system apps which are not required

Stuff I’ve never really used and will probably not bother with in this mod:

Live Wallpapers (bit gimmicky)
Nexus One Launcher (LauncherPro is much better)

So far I have a mod which:
removes wssyncmlnps.apk, MyFiles.apk & Gallery.apk
installs gallery3d.apk
installs custom media player with widgets (based on nexus one)
instals a custom startup script to relocate dalvik & also remove debug dumps
installs a custom hosts file to block adverts
fixes file permissions

So the first thing that came to mind was picasa (with the recent news of google buying picnik).
I have to say the software is amazing, really reminds me of iphoto.
I then created a Picasa web album account and put up some test albums by setting up sync folders and it’s so seemless.

I had some problems with integration with wordpress at first tho, especially trying to get a widget to work properly.
I have since got the Galleries to integrate perfectly using the picasa API (uses GData token). You can see this on the Gallery page.

I am still working on a widget which uses the RSS feed (similar to my flickr one).

This video was embedded using the YouTuber plugin by Roy Tanck. Adobe Flash Player is required to view the video.

One change is the twitter widget which I recoded slightly to make it look better.
The other is my new flickr plugin which I may release to public but at the moment needs some testing. Altho after a few hours of coding and re-coding actually works.

I’m possibly going to be working on a new site but not so sure at the moment all really depends on time etc.
