This document contains my list for what I would like to see done ASAP. It uses CSS/jQuery to provide sane numbering for embedded lists and won't be consistent on feed aggregators so for the list you need to read the original. I copied this to http://groups.drupal.org/node/116044 for easier editing. Disclaimer: this is just my list and not all items are agreed upon. I am not a core maintainer this is just a list of things that IMO needs to be done ASAP and I would love to see people working on them and obviously I will work on them too. We desperately need frontend folks to chime in -- I am more familiar with backend issues. As said in the previous post, get a few, important, quick, doable fixes now, think major at Chicago, code some foundations at Chicago, work until London, finish together in London.

1. Change hook_field_op to an array of callbacks in hook_field_type_info (which is now hook_field_info). These dont define fields but field types.
2. Tear block module apart into block (providing API), block_ui (providing UI) and block_custom (providing custom blocks). We want drastic block changes in D8 and we are on more firmer footing once this is in.
3. Queue.
   1. Make every queue identity itself via an info hook and a queue running screen with a batch API indicator.
   2. Use queue API for node and comment, user, node multiple deletes
   3. Missing EntityFieldUpdateQuery
4. Remove hook_node_info, node_invoke etc -- I do not see what can't be done with hook_field_extra_fields as necessary.
5. Profile module, die, die
6. At least get Make dashboard a fake theme in. We need to discuss the fate of dashboard, that's one item for Chicago!
7. Change the hook separator from '_' to '_hook_'. Better do it ASAP.
8. Get rid of form_set_error
9. Menu system needs to be torn apart. Separate out menu links from hook_menu and Big task cleanup: Remove type and tasks from hook_menu().
