Great! One thing that might be a nicely-sized project is implementing job queues[1]. It's a requirement for moving Promises into SpiderMonkey, and would be helpful for testing in the shell, because it'd allow us to simulate things like setInterval.
Actually moving Promises into SpiderMonkey might then be another good project, though that depending on job queues might make for some awkward timing issues. Also, with that kind of time commitment required, I'll gladly help out.
