Ok, so static export for 1.4 is a good candidate for something for me to work 
on then, (In addition to taking a look at the automated tests)

In 1.2 there seemed to be two ways to do static export right? There was the 
publish task export, and there was also the ant task?

I wasn't real fond of the ant task, how would a command line export be used in 
production? It would probably run via the operating system scheduler, eg 
cron? Anyway, not that much of an issue as long at the export class can be 
called from two different use-cases.

In regards to configuration, it's something that just needs to be configured 
via a file somewhere, not via the web right?

In addition to downloading images and processing the css properly, a problem I 
found with the 1.2 exporter was that when a page published/deactivated the 
pages which should have a navigation link appear/disappear were not updated. 
This could be difficult to solve without making some assumptions about how 
the site navigation has been configured.

I'll get started on it and upload a patch to bugzilla when i have something :)
