You have a great product, well-documented and with a mostly friendly team of core developers, so it's very invited to new student programmers. Last year, though I was familiar with WordPress, there were a few things that I overlooked: the technological impossibility of my proposal (without rewriting most of the core), the complexity of the tags, and the fact that you have to know the C-like languages to even make heads or tails out of a lot of their parameters. I'd personally like to see the XML-RPC changes that the Codex article talks about to get into the core. That could make room for truly great desktop clients. You could change everything you wanted to on your desktop and then change everything in one commit. I do think it's weird to use the "awesome" in its colloquial sense in your application, though. It seems a bit informal for an application. I hope you guys make it.

I know Andy is now at WorkSpace, so that would be convenient, too. P.S. Leslie is awesome, saw her this past week in Boston at Drupalcon.
