Ok we'll add some tickets to issues on the Futon.Next repo. The next thing I'm working on is expanding the plugin system and building a pluggable backend so that the CouchDB API module can be swapped out. As for other open areas, there is a lot of functionality that needs to get fleshed out. It would also be great if someone wanted to jump on things like _config and _logs. We're in the process of getting the wireframes together, so for now we're just focusing on functionality and less on look and feel. -Russell
