I'd be down to help in my free time.  I love visualizations.  =D

The trick probably is the vis side of things.  Dependency sets in horizon
have traditionally been troublesome due to the wide range of variance
between supported platforms such as redhat and ubuntu.

Probably worth figuring out what we're going to do in regards to that.
