Ah well, maybe we'll trick someone else into it :) My own personal project is to spend a bit of every day working on the emacs packages that make my computing life possible: Org, Gnus, and BBDB. I'd prefer to spend most of it on Org, but the fact is that when your email setup is broken, that always takes priority. Org and Gnus both suffer (and both benefit) from wild and messy codebases. Org has Nicolas to help whip it into shape; Gnus doesn't. If you're just reading code, ox-latex is a great place to start. If you're fixing code, org-agenda could use some love... Eric
