Edward rather self-indulgently writes:

I decide which function to implement / bug to fix based on a complicated mixture of importance, ease of implementation, relationship to and dependencies on other fixes, intrinsic interest, whether the weather's too wet to cycle, and purest whimsy. Of these probably the last is the most important factor.

Below in no particular order are the possible enhancements that are waiting for a rainy day.

If you want to make a suggestion, please mail it to the group - please don't just add it here.
