better communication on Debian fora
this timeperiod on IRC
merge unofficial tools and services into official services/systems
merge debian-ports mirror stuff into the Debian mirror stuff <1455925978.3531.43.camel@debian.org>
web stuff: replace all contact information with a link to www.d.o/contact to ensure people don't annoy various aliases with user support questions
general, per-distribution mechanism to list releases and their URLs/order/support/etc. This should replace all the hardcoding of release names in various places. (761348)
ending the tyranny of unix permissions/groups - move more projects to collab-maint
better general, per-release and per-package communication mechanisms with Debian users.
get rid of templates in various places and replace them with forms that must be filled out. Known: reportbug mentors-rfs-template
automated sentiment analysis to find out about community/individual satisfaction
DEP-11 component search on packages.d.o
polls infrastructure
a way for manual pages to be autodownloaded
convince all upstreams to switch from Flash to ?JavaScript, purge all .swf/.fla files and software for building from Debian
convince all upstreams to stop parsing /proc/cpuinfo
move to using www.debian.org as the source location for dents/tweets and produce feeds for import into various social networks
better workflows for Debian press releases and DPN
a mirrorbrain instance for ISO image redirecting
better ways for users to get a copy of Debian
generation of source code indexes for offline code searching
map information flow from every file in a source package to every file in binary packages
reduce and track static linking
reduce and track embedded code and data copies
reduce and track hardcoded release names, versions and architectures
reduce and mitigate general and repository vulnerabilities
reduce non-reproducible builds (inc build arch variation)
reduce non-multi-arch libraries
reduce non-cross-buildable packages
reduce privacy-violating packages
reduce packages causing freedom issues
refocus DebConf and Debian funding on regular donations by individuals
d-i:
get rid of the concept of default desktops
more integration of Debian blends
support for touchscreen-only and mobile devices
OEM mode
tell you about freedom issues with whatever you are running Debian on (hardware, hypervisor, kernel etc)
post-install for OEM mode
options for checking the hardware - memtest86+ badblocks etc
make debootstrap apt-mark auto everything except what it installs
dpkg/apt/aptitude:
Supersedes to get rid of transition packages
allow packages to register files as belonging to them
a mode where packages can be generically-configured but not configured for specific machines (useful for OEM/Live images, OpenSSH keys for eg are machine-specific and should not be in OEM/Live images).
integration with debdelta
sync dpkg and aptitude holds
a way to keep build-deps installed without metapackages for each source package
make apt not forget its brain when there are hash mismatches
build-depends on source packages
architecture wildcards for linux-all, kfreebsd-all, etc for things that could be built once but only work on specific kernels.
ways to direct/encourage user donations to upstreams/Debian
cut down packages/sources per blend in dists
cut down packages/sources per non-free section in dists
option to be silent so that postinst errors are more visible (288778)
remove Debian-specific stuff
menu
port aptitude/synaptic/etc to PackageKit
split branding into separate packages
QA
add more to UDD
base more services on UDD
revive mole, reimplement DACA in mole and add more tests
infra for a "QA cloud" based on donating CPU time
source package search based on LXR/OpenGrok/etc
automated detection of embedded code copies (CloneWise)
revive DDPO-by-mail
survey use of QA infra by Debian contributors
fix upstream check situation
unified dynamic infrastructure instead of daily-built and split up into multiple interfaces
merge bts-link into debbugs
use distromatch to link to patches, bugs etc from other distributions
export sponsor info into mentors.d.n sources
bapase to pts
mole to pts
compare upstream VCS repositories to tarballs
release
reduce the impact of the freeze on development
mail people when their packages do not migrate instead of when they do
oldstable security support until stable+1 release
clarify/obsolete the conflation between bug severity and RC-ness
support information in Release files and user notification
transition staging areas
revive package promotion/reviews and promote them from packages.d.o (543343)
figure out a solution for dotfile insanity
delete obsolete files from ~/ on package upgrade/removal
debconf:
use audio source speaker separation (like manyears) to separate and re-mix conference audio
use transparent slides to overlay speaker's text on speaker's video
microphone drones to capture more of the audience questions
a virtual DebConf every 3/6 months
something like FUDcon, which is a *users* conference more than a dev one
talk accessibility for deaf/blind attendees
services:
info.debian.net: extract all info files
doc-base.debian.net: extract all doc-base files and display them on the web
fonts.debian.net: font lookup/etc
mime.debian.net: file format lookup
wiki: improve DebianLogo ChangeLanguage Freshplayerplugin Software that can't be packaged LocalGroups
yay!
Things I wanted that are done!
dpkg: versioned Provides
apt: a better format for sources.list
DebConf: package one of the online subtitle editors and get Debian users to subtitle the DebConf video archive.

Stuff to consider packaging
Cool software/stuff that I saw on blogs/elsewhere and thought should be in Debian or Debian Unsupported at some point. Note that it isn't necessarily stuff I would use, just that the people who might would appreciate it a lot. This was festering in my ~/TODO so I decided it needed airing out. I've moved the list of links into an interesting software subpage.
