Well, a few project come to mind which are unlikely to be taken on by someone 
without funding because usually more pressing issues present themselves for 
one's own research:

* fully utilise LinBox; expose its functionality (maybe someone working 2-3 
month full-ish time?)

* libGAP (6-12  month to greatly improve Sage's group theory functionality)

* libSingular (6-12 months to greatly improve Sage's commutative algebra 
functionality)

* libecl (I don't know how much work is needed to make it really smooth)

* refactor/rewrite univariate polynomials (a lot there is still old 
inefficient code + base implementations)

* MiniSat C++ interface + DIMAC CNF generic SAT-solver interface

* Someone spending his/her time improving the reference manual + constructions 
etc (similar to the tutorial idea)

* Addressing all/most of Yoav's threats reported in his report

* Notebook scaling

* Notebook LDAP etc. integration

* modularisation of some of Sage's components, i.e. make it easier to take 
parts and re-use them elsewhere (too vague I guess)

Just quick ideas,
Martin
