Honestly, the project now is as busy as it's ever been.  There's less list
traffic, but that's because IRC has been very active.

I don't know... maybe suggesting ideas in a publicly posted list, or
'roadmap'?

:)

Anyway, I had better supply crazy ideas if I'm going to ask for them: (note
that these are not focused around just code)

- I'd like to see some management utilities around Hammer.  When people
talk about liking ZFS, they are often referring to the DWIMmy tools for
using it; Hammer has a lot of features that could be shown that way.  A bit
harder with Hammer 2 on the way, but not a bad goal.

- DragonNAS.

- Freshports adapted to dports.

- mdocml used to replace our online man pages.

- A DragonFly image with preinstalled packages - similar to the GUI image,
but set up with monitoring and server utilities instead.

There probably could be crazier, but they are useful.
