Perhaps some more public cajoling of the masses into helping out
would be good. Not just development but testing. Occasional posts on
general asking people to help test Win32 and PITR for example, or a
prominent link on the main page asking people to try out the latest
Win32. It may not be "beta-ready" yet, but it surely could not hurt
to have people start testing as soon as possible.

I'm also sure that there is probably some more development talent
available out there that could help in some of these bigger items,
but I've not seen a lot of people asking for help or suggesting
ways that people could help. I realize that some of this items are
large and complex, but there is always /something/ that people can do,
even if it documentating new features, or even documenting how to
understand the new feature from a developer's perspective.
