Something like http://opengrok.plone.org/ would be awesome for sponsoring source-code studying and understanding.

“Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow”. Linus' law.

The admin should have a way to put a system wide message about the maintenance and put the site to a ready-only mode (without restarting Zope).

Plomino has a great user interface that makes it very easy for nonprgrammers & newbies to dsign & creat applications for their website. If the plone core worked more like this it would drastically increase user adoption.

The issue with plomino as an add-on is that there's too much bloat. Plomino as an add-on is like having a framework on top of an CMS thats on top of a framework. lol.

You can find out more information about plomino on their website http://plomino.net

When events are one day events i.e. when the user does not provide a start time, do not show the start time. Currently it appears as 12:00

The standard buildout script should contain markers such as "#EGGS" "#ZCML_SLUGS". These would allow external scripts to insert into the buildout.cfg file without the need for editing the file and would bring us closer to an automated install tool. Most of the plugins I use just have to be added to the eggs section of buildout.cfg, rerun buildout and restart zope.

At the moment many Plone 4 products are not visible when you search Plone.org downloads. This is because they are posted in PyPi, and either never posted in Plone.org or the releases are not posted in Plone.org. I propose that pypi trove classifiers be extended to include plone release (plone3/plone4) and they include the categorisation in plone (theme, storage etc). Then plone.org should suck data from pypi to find downloads.

At the moment the iCal/vCal views in Plone export times in UTC, and don't seem to take daylight saving into account.

It looks like some work in the appropriate event views could fix this, but:

1) I'd like any changes to survive a buildout update

and

2) It seems a little presumptuous to just dive in and start hacking.

What's the best way of getting a patch back into Plone if I can get this working?

Plone should allow to have something like "12 reads" or "20 download" when viewing a page/collection. This would also be useful when using Plone as a blog

develop a product or place in the nucleus of the html5 video support - or use / apply http://videojs.com/

thus creating a new item and there put url video videos pro in .ogg/webm/mp4 or even if the case is created and uploaded the item.

This would be helpful for developers using the unified installer.

To further enhance the calendar, it should be possible to create multiple reminders for an event. This should suppport (1) global reminder settings (2) per event reminder settings with the option of overriding the global settings

It should be possible to create a whitelist for the following authentication scenarios:
1. open id providers from which Plone will "allow" a user to automatiacally be placed into a group (e.g. all users who have a someprovider.com based openid become Reviewers). It should be possible to specify what group they are whitelisted for.
2. Openid users that Plone will automatically be part of a designated group e.g. make http://someopenid.provider.com/john into a Reviewer on login.

There are occasions when an end user wants to transform an existing item into another type of item, e.g. to make a page into a news item or blog entry so that it can support a captioned image. There should be a way for an end user to "convert this item into a ...". Additionally it should be possible to do a bulk conversion of items for the whole site or for specific folders.
