Right... but what I was looking for were real projects that people in the community might put their hand up to do. It might be a small tweak to the IDE but it's this community saying... gee if this goes open source we can do this or that and our collective effort will make this great tool 1000 times better! Why not go through your list, pick one or more things you might enjoy the challenge of implementing in your spare time and put it on the list ;-)

Don't get me wrong... the big stuff will need to be left to RunRev. At least until after the refactoring. If you want the big stuff then put your money into kickstarter. Lots of small stuff can be done by the community though and that's what I'm hoping this thread will demonstrate.

Well... just because their roadmap is like that it doesn't mean you can't contribute something else.
