So far there are only four items in this list of wish items at http:// 
de-1.tric.nl/seaside/sqp/list (not counting Lukas' joker). Is  
everybody so pleased or desperate or just not interested enough? Hey,  
it's not about signing up to do the work in this case...

I think it would be interesting to see what other people wish to be  
improved, changes, included, excluded or whatever -- even if it might  
not be realistic for 3.9.

Cheers,
Adrian
