I'd like to propose a few topics:

  tlsdate inclusion
  revisiting a default transparent proxy
  allowing users to choose a less secure Tails during boot
    eg: enable bluetooth automatically, run cups, etc.
  TorBirdy and Thunderbird inclusion
  Tor Browser Bundle
  kernel hardening
  writing and shipping an installer for Win/OSX/linux
  improving tails upgrades
  running gnome-screensaver when a password is enabled
  EFI booting
  32bit and 64bit builds
  downloads pre-tailored for specific install mediums
  adding golang, xmpp-client and pond to tails
  support for adding vm transparent level proxy
    eg: running tails inside of a vm
      ...with a stripped down tails as the host
  not launching the web browser on startup
    eg: lowering the attach surface with about://tor
  a way to perform forensics on an untrusted tails disk
    eg: from another (trusted) tails disk or a Debian system


Any of those seem interesting to me - also some feedback from different
kinds of users - is available.

All the best,
Jacob
