Here is my list:

1. Improve the Maven 2 jbi plugin. Make sure it works flawlessly when
deploying components. I.e. no problems shutting down shared libs/components
etc. When it works development goes very smoothly. I figure the faster
developers can work problem free the quicker Smix will improve.

2. Eclipse plugin - project generation, control of Smix during development,
graphical creation/configuration of endpoints w/ automatic generation of
XBean and java files. How nice would it be to do 50%+ of your work creating
a SA by using a tool which allows one to drop in components and hook them
together.

3. The EIP component is a great start, but the book 'Enterprise Integration
Patterns' presents so much more. Let's get those other patterns into the
component, or in a new one. This would probably have a large impact on
usability out of the box. If all the good plumbing stuff comes in the
distribution then end users main problems becomes creating, finding and
using bc's to integrate in their legacy systems (and stuff :).

4. In depth description of Servicemix = better documentation. Would be nice
to see an archetectural break down with corolations to JBI. The flow of
documentation is too broken up. Maybe the community could put together a
'table of contents' which would better prepare the reader as they linearly
progress through the documentation. Then we could merge in all the current
documentation to fit the toc. A problem I have had is having to jump all
around the documentation to find references. This eats up lots of time. If
the documentation better prepared you during the initial reading for what
comes later, then the problem could be lessened.

5. Maybe a subproject that involves creating integration adapters (BC's?)
that can be posted by users so that others can share them, rather than
reinventing the wheel.
