Anyone want to work on that and I would be up for it.

I've been thinking about doing this for a while - I basically have one that I use for my personal projects, but I could clean it up and document it and use make it a public boilerplate.

What features would you guys want? Here's what I'd include:

* Robust JSON parsing examples feeding to a.. * Speedy list view * Grid and List Menu Views * DataTask examples * Splash screen * Palette values, Gradients in XML * GeoLocation Snippets * Nice defaults for text appearance * Background service example * Internet permissions

Anything you guys would want?

Code to extend the Google Map component (such as a clickable BalloonOverlay, fast OverlayItem grouping). I'd contribute my own code for this to such a project.
