TWiki - it would be cool to translate to XML instead of HTML and use a style sheet to transform. That would make it easier to write stuff in Twiki and move it to DocBook XML.

Also, it would be cool to have a twiki plug-in that could automagically produce image galleries out of directories full of image files (i.e. thumbnails, etc). Sorta done, I wrote a small hack to build the thumbs one at a time.

Dia - UML shapes need a once-over. Add more attachment points, allow different colors, etc. Still true, but I use ArgoUML now.

*Bonnie* - add a make dist target to Makefile, generate GNU/Linux binaries for intel, sparc. Also output results one test at a time so you don't have to wait until the end. looks like bonnie++ has superceded bonnie.

sh-utils - figure out a way to XML-enable these tools. This would preserve the flexibility of text I/O, pipes, etc while making it easier to do medium-complexity processing on the output. Also explore using a command-line shell that can display xml in a nicely formatted way. http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/ is a different approach but looks like a good start.

collaborative document preparation - a tool which starts out loose (like a wiki) but then can move documents into a more structured form (docbk?) when they gel, and manage the changes and comments made to them. http://www.conglomerate.org/ has some interesting ideas but is a dead project.

javancss - investigate how much get/set methods throw off the statistics that are generated. Hack the code so they don't count and see if how different the results are on some large programs.

XMMS - a McIntosh skin (i.e. a skin that looks like McIntosh hifi gear). Probably a copyright violation, but seems fun.

XML Schema Tools - I can think of two useful XSL stylesheets: one to generate a FOP image of a schema. It's often much easier to look at schemas as images (for example many commercial packages can show a schema in tree form) than code. Another useful stylesheet would generate code! It would need to use the proprietary extensions that allow multiple output files for one input file, but other than that it should be pretty straightforward.

Emacs JDE - when you try to build an application it moves point to the line where the first compile error happened, but not the column. Since many of my compile errors have to do with un-imported classes, having the cursor where I could C-c-v-z would be nice.
