While plotting this scheme and looking at the existing content on the Wiki, I was reminded of http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WishList and http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryWishList. Some of the stuff here is quite old and already tackled by Emacs, while some is now under development thanks to the concurrency branch etc. But sometime in the next day or two I'll add a page somewhere in there soliciting sponsors and developers for this crowdfunding scheme. -- I use grml (http://grml.org/)
