dev:new_developer_wishlist

This is an old revision of the document!


Let's put our wish list items in here. We can discuss what is needed and who will work on developing them. Anyone who would like to claim some items from this list can pull them out from the top and include them in a description of what they are going to document and list the "wish list" items that will be covered by their contribution below the description.
