Some plans that ByWater (Kyle, Jesse, etc.) has for 3.16 (or at least make sure our patches are out there).
Elastic Search - which Chris talked about. New catalogers interface - which Jesse Weaver has been working on and we're getting closer and closer to having that ready to submit. (Jesse did a quick demo at KohaCon in Reno). I bug pianohacker daily on when that's going to be submitted :) Finishing the Plackifying of the staff-side so that it could be stably used. I would also like to see a big push of using DBIx::Class and I love the comments from Galen about using Koha on PG (++). We are more than willing to help in that project Galen - please take advantage of us and let us know what you'd need help on. We will contribute in any way that we can. Just some thoughts - and I'm sure we'll add to that in the coming months.
