Great, here is a laundry list to start with:


- release schedule
  - once-a-month useful?  sustainable?

- path toward grand-unified archive+live capability
  - intermediate steps?  
    - virtually-glue-archives-together enough?  would it require new context 
type?
    - tail -f on archives
  - acceptability of server/proxy process for full capability?

- path toward data durability
  - do we really care?
  - whither the fche/fsync patches?
  - streamable archive format?

- platforms
  - is windows status quo (mingw) going anywhere?
  - worth trying cygwin (posix) builds again?
  - which unixes/distros are of interest?  release binaries for them?
  - how do we share build/testing load?
  - how to gather evidence about compatibility assumptions (sgi addons vs. 
multilib)?
  - how to entice distro reps into presence in pcp community?
