Things I'd like to see:

* On the Swift Evolution repository site, a wish list from core engineers, with 
a précis for each topic, a priority estimate, and contact information for the 
team (which can be none through "willing to mentor"). Using a central document 
is key. Placing requests on-list means they get lost within a day or two and 
cannot be updated in one place. 

* At the same time, I'd like to see regular posted updates on-list 
(announcement, or evolution) about the bigger picture goals: for example, 
neglected items that need some contributor love

* A way to submit pitches for early design review intervention on a regular 
calendar, so pitches without legs get cut off early and mercifully, and traffic 
is reduced.

* A deferred proposals folder where people can place low-priority (for example, 
"sugar") items, to clear them from their heads, from the pull queue. Add in 
some structure for discussion, whether on a separate swift.org pipermail list, 
on github, or on-list using a well-specified tag that can be filtered out for 
those who need more on-topic bandwidth.

* Swift-academy outreach for those of us who can code but fall somewhere 
between starter bugs and full contribution.
