Executable Shell - ideas wanted

Hi

I am looking for feedback and ideas for improvement about a simple but (I feel) important project of mine - Executable Shell, or esh.

I condensed what I learned and did so far on this page: http://littlesvr.ca/uli/esh/ Please take a look. An excerpt:

Quoted

Regular Linux users are not able to download a program from the web and run it. They can if they have the most basic knowledge of what a terminal is, but most people don't and never will (nor, I belive, should they need to). This is the problem Executable Shell (esh) is trying to solve.

I would like to hear from you even if you think the idea is terrible. I'm pretty convinced at this point that it would bring a lot of benefits without introducing any security risks, but feel free to argue otherwise and I will try to address your concerns on the webpage.

Ultimately I would like to see all the distributions and file managers to support esh.

Thanks for your time.
