Generally:
(I apologize in advance; I'm being presumptive and posting about projects I
can't do myself. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
We need an installer that isn't sysinstall. Rob's working on one, and Emiel
is working on a shorter-term version if I recall correctly.
A bug tracking system will probably be needed immediately after 1.0 release,
because the number of users should increase. I recall Joerg was working on
Bugzilla and conversion of old FreeBSD-4 material.
Packaging: this is I assume dependent on Matt's userland VFS work. It may
be difficult to replace ports/dfports before 1.0, but it sure would be nice
to "start" with a new system instead of an override.
Personally:
We need to have a handbook-equivalent before release. Perhaps not in
size/depth, but at least in structure. That's a me-n-hmp thing, probably.
