I was thinking about that. I think the time requirements might change with @Ziva over time if she finds rhythms.

I think there's actually a fair amound of interface and module work I could do which is easier to do - I think with low sleep I can still do interface work for example, though I don't know if I'm good for deep strategy and architecture.

In terms of defering - I wasn't necessarily expecting to just be given money for leave, I was definitely expecting to deliver things. I certianly noticed with our client contract that what I could produce when working fulltime was really exciting. I expect the same could be true for patchbay. Things on my wishlist there are :

• installers (this would take load off patchwork as THE ONLY easy client)
• an auto-scaler for image attachments in patchcore
  • scale down to fit inside 1024x768 by default
  • this could be a toggleable feature for attachments in the /settings page (below)
• re-implement old features (join a pub, see network activity)
• re-architect how Pages work
• a router which can load a message before it routes to it
• better private messages
  • I started making /inbox, and now i've been using it want to work on it more, including a nice composer
  • perhaps make this a stand alone app which is like email?
• better public feed.. probably add a /feed view which is rolled up like patchwork (and have the firehose there if you want it still)
• extract all the scroller logic into something standalone and less finicky
• add a /settings page
  • plugins will be able to depject add settings in
  • allow toggling of plugins like gatherings / books / chess
  • add view into the persistent settings that arj added for filtering.
• improve /notifications tab allowing view of:
  • just at-mentions
  • extensions of threads I posted in
  • private messages
• work with @matt to extract patch-who - (the module which when you hover over a person it show you info about them
• redesign the profile page
  • better / more clear editing
  • ability to edit your description
  • clearer social graph features like "friends in common"
• contribute to patchcore v3 rewrite
• support pull request from contributors
• support module development from contributors

... etc

(I love it when you start writing a short list and discover your head has a lot more packed away in it that anticipated)
