1) Restructure the forums so that it is possible to read 'by platform/OS'
(example: right now the 'Applications' forum doesn't have any device-subforum which makes it often very confusing if a discussed app is for Diabo, Fremantle, etc) - and for people who is just interested in say OS2008 it is hard to filter out the other posts.

2) SSO
Make 2010 'the year when Single System Sign-on was finally implemented'

3) Simple way to file bugs
Bugzilla is anything but user friendly. Maybe develop an optional 'end-user' front-end with a simpler i/f feeding bugzilla

4) Implement Andrew Black's Moderator structure suggestion
(posted elsewhere)

5) Swap the default Seach-tool to Advanced Search

6) Retire the Karma system
People are 'thanking' way too much because they like the person or agree with the positive/negative spirit of a post - not because the post is particularly useful.

7) Implement 'thumbs-down' for posts
Implement a way to rate a post 'thumbs-down' and an option to read the forum 'community-moderated' where posts with X thumbs-down would be auto-suppressed.

8) Public/better site change tracker
Post a much more publicly visible page showing what site-changes are being worked on, their status and ETC - and with more meaningful status-updates (read: no more "did some work on it", 'should be ready soon", etc).

9) Allow thread-creators to change their thread's subject lines
Allow for people to change the subject line of their own posts - and display a change log in the first post of what the subject line has been changed from
