One to add to the list. Gearman worker support in php-fpm that I brought up in 2010 but never got to myself. See this thread: http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?7,161054 I'll volunteer to mentor this one myself. Like I explained in the thread, it may not actually need to be Gearman-specific. It is simple enough for userspace PHP code to register themselves with gearmand, so if we go that route this is becomes about adding multiple worker pools support to fpm and being able to indicate that these pools aren't actually FastCGI workers. By not making them Gearman-specific they would be useful for managing beanstalkd workers and custom libevent, ZeroMQ and whatever else people are writing these days that need robust process management. For people already running nginx+php-fpm for their web serving needs, this would reduce the number of moving parts and make it easier to manage. There are a bunch of efficiencies I can think of that would come from centralizing this process management in one place. -Rasmus
