Sure.  I've been involved in discussions nearly every spring for
five years or more having to do with what people would like to see
changed.  I have them in archived e-mail, plus there's the Feature
Request list on SF.  I'd probably be a halfway-decent filter also
to help narrow down the choices.  I've noticed a lack of developers
weighing in on this thread so far.  I know I'm busy this week so
perhaps some others are as well.  Sometimes timing is everything!

Regarding this thread:  Since it's happening on two mailing lists
simultaneously some people will get snippets but not related
postings because they're on only one of them.  Perhaps a post on
the Xastir list to ask interested parties to move to Xastir-Dev to
continue the discussion?  Xastir-Dev is for precisely such purposes.
