How about these:
-implement unicode for microwindows
-I heard that there must have been some GUI memory layout tool in ecos 1.x which hasn't made it to 2.x, work on this one
-work on kernel instrumentation, the docs say it will be improved and host-side tools will be implemented somewhen in the future, but it hasn't happened yet (AFAIK)
