Siebrand,
Mobile and Fundraising have been scheming for some time about various ways
to utilize what Varnish offers which may have been what you've heard about.
Mobile is further along the path than Fundraising in terms of utilizing
Edge Side Includes (ESI) -- but their approach as I understand it is not
yet portable to extensions beyond MobileFrontend. Ideally myself or Adam
will be able to start working on ESI wrt CentralNotice (and therefore
extensions to the rest of the site) sometime in the next 2 months but I
certainly wouldn't wait for us. Still - do you have 30 minutes sometime
this week where we could bash heads together and bring each other up to
date on requirements/needs that sort of thing?
I just created a document at [1] which started to outline our vision for
where Fundraising is going (but it's very rough).

Is there any idea when the ULS will be enabled on
all projects ?
No. "As soon as is realistic." There are no hard targets that are worth
communicating.
What priority do the caching challenges have
given the huge amount of
people who stand to benefit in the USA (never mind the people in the rest
of the world) ??
I was told that "the Varnish solution" will be explored by someone right
after the data centre migration. Someone else is working on getting a squid
patch together and get that submitted to the squid cache project for a
short term solution. No estimated times to fix their either.
