I wouldn't mind seeing people be a little more vocal on the hackers list about what they plan to be doing, just so that there's not duplication of effort. But trying to assemble that into some sort of published Master Plan sounds to me like just a recipe for making ourselves look foolish when the Plan ends up having little relationship to reality.
The things I would _like_ to do:
* Combine pg_dump and pg_dumpall into a single binary with common options, allowing a full cluster custom format dump.
* Make psql backwards compatible like pg_dump is
* Work with a few of the IRC guys on a pgsql version of SQL*Loader. This would be a rad high speed data loader, with overflow files of rows that couldn't be loaded, etc.
