You cannot guess this! :) You need to pick an extension you'd like to improve 
and then see the work to be done on it.

If you don't have any idea this one is a good one to start with: 
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Polls+Application
I know that it needs at least items 2 and 3 from my list (i.e. Application 
Panels entry + Transaltion XObject). I don't know the syntax of its pages but I 
guess it's already 2.0.

But generally speaking pick one app that you've installed and that you like or 
that you'd like to use and see what small things you can improve in it, 
especially regarding these 3 items (but not limited) :)

Thanks for your help!
