I guess I could clean up and add explanations to my TODO file (which is currently a mishmash of Finnish and English, and contains many entries that I don't remember exactly what they are for). The problem, however, is that wrt. Ion there are very few "finished" ideas with a clear implementation plan, or ones that I wouldn't care how it is implemented. I don't like kludgy solutions in many cases. If something needs an architechture change, then so be it. But such obviously are more difficult for a random contributor to make than quick hacks without studying Ion extensively. Mostly these ideas are in the department "would be nice to try if this kind of thing works", though. Outside Ion I've got more ideas that I'd like to see people implement almost any way they want to, of course within the boundaries of actually implementing that idea and not something else, and staying true to its motivations and not using those few libraries and languages I particularly loathe (g*, java, .NET). -- Tuomo
