I tend to agree with your opinion.

Here is (part of) my wish/todo list.  These ones are related to code,
to balance the lists already given :)

- continue to cleanup the dependency graph between files, so we do not
have to link useless stuff into server/editor/whatever.  Eventually
use shared libraries to avoid duplicating compiled code between the
binaries, and make it easier to reuse the wesnoth core.

- make it possible to run standalone (python, but also possibly
perl/scheme/whatever) scripts to automate things like production of
screenshots for the docs in all supported languages.

- improve the zipios thing, which is really not efficient
performance-wise

- rework the way user campaigns are loaded (and how they are allowed
to ship other elements like units), so that it fits in the general way
things are done - the ad-hoc nature of the current solution is the
origin of user campaigns showing up twice when zipios is used.

- finish the adaptation to low-resolution devices (PDA), including:

 - rework the gui/dialogs stuff to make it fully theme-able: it is a
 shame I have to recompile the game and use #ifdef's whenever I'd like
 to adapt a dialog for the PDA port.  This includes breaking the
 current monolithic dialog core.

 - UI improvements to make the game really playable with a stylus only

 - preformance improvement, probably including switching some of the
 remaining floating-point computations to fixed-point, like I already
 did with graphics stuff.

Best regards,
