I would be willing to put the time in, but I'd also have to rely on the other 
Core Devs. I'd suggest a special mailing list for a possible participant.

I'd make the projects somewhat self-contained. Just bug fixing, or UTF8 support 
would be frustrating.

So here are my suggestions (that I could get in before tomorrow night):

- Fluff: this would be a new app at the side of Fluid. Fluid will be purely for 
interactive user interface creation. Fluff would do all the - um - fluff around 
developing apps: it could 
  * install FLTK correctly for non-makefile based systems
  * manage the IDE files (move from Fluid)
  * create new projects from scratch (and their IDE and Makefiles)
  * create packages (a package can contain new widgets and uses the above IDE 
interface to install neatly into the users FLTK environment)
  * install and remove packages
  * online "shop" for packages (remember the Bazaar? Just much simpler for the 
end user)

- image writing

- image reading from RAM

- Fl_Device for OpenGL

- Fl_Device for scaling

- mouse pointer editor

- Fl_Cavas widget and Paint test program

- new fltk_sound library that wraps the audio calls in Blocks and Sudoku

- new fltk_stream library that adds communication widgets like serial line and 
TCP/IP

- and maybe a bunch of other widgets


Well, there is tons of stuff to do ;-)
