Ok, I've done some more clean up of the 11.1 feature ideas page:
http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Ideas/11.1

Its still messy and some ideas are a bit vague, but we can still have a
discussion around various features.

First off, packaging related things, there are a number of items that
would simply require packaging:
1) gypsy (G:C)

this is half packaged in Applications:Geo repository

2) viking (G:C)

already packaged in Application:Geo

3) nautilus-extensions (G:F)

it needs a lot more love to be included, but it's already packaged (the
last version I did a tar.gz for) in home:rodrigomoya. The source code is
in:

git clone http://www.gnome.org/~rodrigo/git/osc-plugins.git

see the nautilus-extensions dir

Desktop:
1) Panel tweaks need a yes/no

+1 yes

6) For the sudo stuff, I think we need to restate this as a need to get
pk-su or equivalent for PolicyKit

I started experimenting with PolicyKit the other day, and ended up
writing some code for a thing called AdminKit, which I was planning to
include the PK code in the clock applet as well as a RunAsRoot method to
replace all the *su*do things we have. If I (or someone else) have some
time, it should be quite easy to have it work (doesn't work yet, didn't
have time to finish, but it's almost done)

8) Root priviliges in nautilus - this comes up a lot actually

with the RunAsRoot PK thing, we could have a Nautilus extension that
allows doing operations on Nautilus as root
