Another thing I was thinking about recently is the ability to capture (at the kernel level) the console output to serial, but still have it go to the video screen. For instance, booting up computers during demos, you want the viewer to see the boot sequence, but you also want to monitor it from your control system.
I'm guessing this is what GGI will provide. I should spend a few of my copious spare milliseconds looking for docs on GGI's goals...
