Hi Eli, a couple of thoughts/ideas:
Sunil recently said that he'd like to see a more 'modern' layout -- right now we kind of use a bunch of default bootstrap elements. In general the usability of Plinth could be improved, for example the tor page is a bit confusing now, perhaps we could display the status a bit better (requiring less space). Help texts could be more verbose, more up-to-date and easier for non-techies. Another good way to contribute is to add more apps -- is there anything you'd like to have? It'd be good to have more (python) tests. On Sunday there's a ProgressCall (https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/ProgressCalls) to coordinate and discuss open issues. Most topics won't be about Plinth specifically, except the dashboard. The dashboard is a proposal to easier start/stop apps on the freedombox: https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/pull/20 It's not yet clear in which direction the dashboard will go, perhaps we'll even build (and use) an API (start/stop/configure/install/uninstall) Right now there isn't a lot of JavaScript in Plinth. I hesitated to add more because purists might want to have a fully functional interface without JavaScript. On the other hand this will constrain the usability of Plinth. That's another thing we could discuss on Sunday.
