wikis aren't a particularly good idea for free software projects except in some very specific situations. I've never seen them work well, and they usually just wind up making documentation hard to find and less searchable. I'd like to see a better bug tracking system. Sourceforge's, frankly, sucks, both in terms of usability and visibility. The mailing list works, but I've found that good bug trackers cut down on duplicate reports and help aggregate information about a bug. Good online source browsers are also nice. Again, Sourceforge has one (... I think?) but I don't remember it being particularly friendly. This is particularly good for fish, since one of the best sources of "how do I... ?" information for fish scripting is all the scripts that do most of the work for the shell.
