What symbology improvements would you be looking at doing? There are quite a few tickets for improvements to the automatic labeling ;) Ftools seems to have taken the limelight, but what about the idea of a suite of topology tools, which I also mentioned at the same time as the ftools idea? It really came from Alexandre (http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2011-May/012060.html), but it's something that QGIS users often say they need to use another GIS for. Would this also be tied up with the processing framework like the Ftools idea is?
