Just a note to myself for a list of features I want/need for WordPress. (If one of these already exists, PLEASE let me know! Or if you're planning on working on something similar, let me know that too)
1) Comment Subscription
Like I have running now.
2) Comment "highlight"
(Step 1)The ability to "edit" a comment and add a "tag" that will style it differently than the rest. This is probably most useful on sites like this where in a stream of questions – someone posts a very important answer in the comments, and I want to make sure it stands out for others to see.
(Step 2)Have a few "levels" to that style. ie. VERY important comment. Kinda important comment.
(Step 3)Have comments be "nominated" important by the readers themselves (removing the admin from having to maintain it)
3)The ability to customize which pages show up in the admin edit templates screen.
I'm thinking this needs to be and editable flat file or list from the database where you can add pages/remove pages/edit the path to the pages, etc.
4)The ability to paginate archives. (kind of like the way mt-paginate works)
(I'll add to this list as time goes on)
