I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but unless these suggestions come
with some resources, I think we have our answer on the project direction,
and as far as I can tell, Dragonfly is very open and welcoming to
developers with a personal itch to scratch, whatever direction that might
want to take the project, as long as it's not disruptive and inline with
overall goals, but as far as suggestions from the peanut gallery go, I'm
pretty sure that that and $7 US will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
