I did not forgot the wish list, and planned to put it on the wiki page (qgil suggested to use the wiki), just need a bit of free time

About the newbie developers your pov is ok, but still think that in future we have to differentiate new entries (ala gsoc) and the old ones in a different manner, as now we need more apps and more developers

About me, I personally need a "normal" (not a desktop widget) sound recorder application, that show a srolling graph of the input level plus basic editing capabilities to cut uninteresting parts, plus autostart/stop based on treeshold levels.

Do not know if free time will permit me to code it or to offer some euros

I have another couple of blocker to decide, I'd like to use Qt, so the 1.2 release will help a lot, but the release date is yet unknown, and have to learn qt-mobility to see if I may use it's audio capabilities instead of using alsa-lib directly (my preferred way actually, as I'd like to implement an aggressive ring buffer in a different thread to avoid alsa underrun when the device is under heavy load).

Picking another task from the wish list may be feasable too
