1. RE: Idea for a New Project

There is something called "Kaptain". It is supposed to be an easy way to 
make a graphical interface for Linux programs.

Yes, that's what it does - implement a GUI for common 
(existing) command line programs. 

I was thinking more along the lines of Prograph
http://www.pictorius.com/
which allows the programmer to build source code by 
dragging and dropping various boxes on the screen, and
connecting them with lines. I tried Prograph
a few years ago, and decided that it just wasn't
useful for any "real" programming tasks. Other people 
have better success with it, if you believe Pictorus' 
sales pitch. 

Anyway, there's a free trial available, but it's a 
26 meg download. 

Also, there once was a programming language called 
"Blue", which operated in much the same way. Work on 
that seems to have been discontinued.

Regards,
Irv
