I personally would like to have 2.2 release coming out soon with the primary focus being the new text package, which seems to be done IMO.
In general I would also like the unit test code coverage to go up as much as possible. There are also probably a couple of bugs in Bugzilla that need to be turned into unit tests to see if they apply to the current build.
