1. We could certainly improve the default desktop. At least, put some applications on the panel (possibly include some .desktop files from /usr/share/applications too).
2. A 'zeroinstall-injector' package is now in Ubuntu/feisty (universe), which should make things a bit easier.
3. Please ask those projects to provide Zero Install feeds; they won't do it if there's no demand. You could point them at the packaging tutorial. If they'd like to do it but don't have time, let us know (on the Zero Install mailing list) and we can make one for them.
