A few people have said that projects slow when developers loose
interest. While everyone is here (admittadly sucked in by the gravity
of the other thread) it is worth asking what would excite developer
interest?

Clearly the stuff on the lists has gotten moss growing on it so I
think we need to launch some threads each with one idea we like *not*
to ask "Will someone code this?" but rather "Does adding this excite
people?"

At least then those of us who would like to contribute will have some
idea of how raise the odds of our effort pulling other people in.
