This is all still pretty experimental.  Typewriter's not exactly rock- 
solid right now if you haven't noticed :-).

I think it would be cool to expose it to different domains and apps,  
but I don't think we understand at what level that makes the most  
sense yet (i.e., give me typewriter for the types in my base... or  
send this saved views to a queue to fill in a missing property... or  
here's a whole queue framework for doing completely custom work  
queues).  Definitely interested in feedback on how you'd want to use it.

Also, a heads-up that the Task Queue Library you mention can't be used  
by anyone just yet as it requires an API key (in the new Acre API  
keystore!) to talk to the queue web service.  Just don't want anyone  
to spend time cloning the app only to get frustrated that it won't  
work for them...
