It's a great question, Craig. One idea that I think is worth kicking around is how we can partner together in increasing diversity in our developer, design & product community while working on important problems.
On this topic, one thing that was brought up in the Board elections questions & answers was the (ongoing) need to triage feature requests by the community, including especially requests for features from experienced & admin users, and feature requests from the sister projects.
One of the ideas in the candidate answers was to focus more on building a central place where feature requests (and cool existing tools) can be shared between language editions and projects, and where feature ideas could get refined outside of bugzilla & the lists; another idea was to build a kind of technical committee to help collect and refine these ideas. Then of course there is the actual technical work of addressing these requests.
I don't know if working on this would fit in with what any of the chapters are doing, but it does seem like a social/technical/community area that could use some energy.
