What if the Foundation were to take advantage of the
large number of
researchers that are closely associated with the organization and could
potentially serve as mentors? I don't know for certain that they would be
willing to fill that role, but they might, and I can see a lot of code
coming out of it that benefits the project.
Two projects I could see the Foundation sponsoring for technical
issues would be WYSIWYG editing and an improved mechanism for wiki
based threaded discussions, but I know have been brought up before,
but they are issues that wiki technology doesn't exactly excel in yet
so it would be a start. Improved referencing methods in wiki's may
also be another topic which could be investigated at the technical
level.
