Module::Build replacement
Write various components of a planned Module::Build replacement, including
- Finish Build::Graph, a dependency engine that doesn't suck
- Finish ExtUtils::Builder, a general purpose compiling/linking framework
- Write a plugin architecture that doesn't suck, this will probably require some kind of IOC.

Installed module database / Packlists replacement
Start writing that .packlist replacement we discussed in Lancaster.

Finish the Build.PL specification
The Build.PL specification is moving forwards very slowly, we should finish it for real.

CPAN::Meta::Merge
This is a smart merging engine for CPAN Meta fragments. This will require CPAN::Meta::Converter to be able to handle fragments first.

Static cpan installation
Our current installation mechanism is very flexible (in a Turing complete way), but most of the time that isn't necessary. It could be useful if this dependency on shelling out to Makefile.PL/Build.PL could be eliminated where possible.

Smolder
A few months ago, I needed something to smoke & collect test results. I remembered Smolder, and discovered it had gone unmaintained. I merged most of the patches people had proposed on Git Hub and CPAN RT. The major work left to do is to merge with mcartmell's branch, who ported Smolder to PSGI & DBIx::Class. Then we can start adding new features, maybe including a job scheduler.

Maybe you could also adopt the Smolder distribution on CPAN. — Philippe Bruhat (BooK)
SV type preservation
Following a discussion that occurred on p5p, I think I have a way to implement a mechanism which, although it would not be as initially described, should still be extremely helpful for serializers. I'm not very familiar with p5 internals, but it can be an occasion for me to discover more. If someone is interested and want to steal the idea, I can describe it in more details on another page :)

CPANTS metrics
Add and improve some metrics, both for uploaded distributions, and for local projects that use Test::Kwalitee and its friends.

DBI::Test
Continue extending the prototype to explore the issues and find practical solutions.

Test::Smoke
Continue the work on Test::Smoke, the backends, the database and the web-UI

Perl::Formance resurrection
More Test::Class::Moose improvements
Test::Class::Moose is becoming more popular and is being used in production environments. My aim is to improve the "out of the box" parallel testing behavior, clean up some interface issues and make it easier to migrate from a Test::Class setup by providing optional Test and Tests tags, just like we find in Test::Class. Those can be used for plan management.
I also want to introduce a Test::Class backwards-compatibility role to further smooth the transition.

Yearly email to PAUSE users
A periodic (probably yearly) email to PAUSE authors, to give them some kind of useful dashboard, and in the process check validity of their contact email address, recording this in the PAUSE db.
Discussed this briefly with ANDK at LPW 2013, hoping to hammer out a design and get at least a first cut working.

Identifying distributions that need help and possibly adoption
Working out the best way to get this information into MetaCPAN, and possibly looking at other factors that should be included.

Changes files: spec and parsing code
There are various aspects of the spec in CPAN::Changes::Spec and parsing in CPAN::Changes that people have expressed dissatisfaction with. Try and hammer out something that we can all live with.
