I thought I would elaborate a bit also:

* Work on tiles.

Explore more the possibilites the terrain WML gives to find new and better ways of doing things. Make complete "terrain sets" which will transition well within sets, and good enough between sets. Work towards more consistent scale within terrain and buildings, work to replace the old "black-outline style" with more advanced shading techniques.

* GUI improvements.
Icons, layout, dialogs etc. Will look into themes and see what can be done here. I have made some mock-ups, which morloth is working on now (game summary dialog fx).

* Terrain engine.
I also would like some changes to facilitate further improvement to the terrain. Two (or more) layered map format to allow for things like bridges to go over different types of terrain withouth lots of tile duplication and use of many letters, also yobbo are exp. with drawing roads this way. Several map-layers should in addition to allow for more flexibility make the WML less complex in some cases. Two-letter terrain chars, we are currently running out of chars. Unfortunately I can't code this myself, but I will try to give input and ideas.

* Wiki
There is a Wiki page where we try to work out some goals/guidelines for terrain work: http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/Tiles_Status (Input there is appreciated).
