I wish following things will be incorporated into each releases.
(Note that list below is rough and not complete.)
Items marked "-" are replay of changes mainly done on sympa-6.2-branch-old.
Items marked "+" are new ideas which have never discussed yet.


6.2:

- [dev]/[bug] Fixing bugs and improving robustness of SDM, and
  adding auto-update feature to at least SQLite and PostgreSQL.
  * Corresponding to several changes in db_list_cache, sympa-spool
    and sympa-6.2-branch-old branches.

- [change] Improvement of Language module: transition from POSIX
  locale to IETF language tag.  It'll make Esperanto, Ido and so on
  possible.

- [change] Unifying wwsympa.conf to sympa.conf.  Former ahould be
  migrated into latter during upgrade process.

- Other improvements done on sympa-6.2-branch-old by some
  contributors, if any

6.2 (if time permits) or 7.0:

- [dev] New module LockedFile for locking, obsoleting Lock module.

- [dev] Improving list cache on DB and search feature.
  * Corresponding to some works on db_list_cache branch except
    Site/Robot/Family/List refactoring.

- [dev] Refactoring on spool: Introducing modularization
  corresponding to SympaspoolClassic.

- [dev] Refactoring on Message.  Removing unneccessary X-Sympa-*
  pseudo-headers, eliminate private keys from bulk table, etc.
  * See also description on developer-only space (Wiki).

+ [dev] Refactoring on Log.  Abstract interface hiding concrete log
  backends (syslog, DB, ...) to carry out reporting/logging in
  uniform way.
  * I'll explain details in other days.

+ [change] Reconstructing site/robot config page: Giving similar
  look & feel to list config pages.

7.0:

- [dev] New naming convention.
  Or, if it will not be possible, at least minimum unification of
  style (e.g. lowercasing method names).

- [dev] New file orientation, corresponding to the works on
  sympa-cleanup branch etc., except refactoring on SDM etc.

- [dev] Also, separating and naming modules appropriately (such as
  Sympa::Tools::*).

- [dev] Refactoring on Site/Robot/Family/List, corresponding to the
  part of works on sympa-6.2-branch-old branch.

7.0 (if time permits) or 7.1:

+ [dev] Refactoring (modularizing) alias_manager.  LDAP- and MySQL-
  variants will be integrated.

+ [dev] Refactoring (modularizing) sympa.pl.

+ [dev] Integrating Sympa::Plugin into Sympa core.  It'll
  also make following thing possible.

+ [dev] Refactoring (modularizing) WWSympa.
  * I'll explain details in other days.

7.1:
+ [dev] Refactoring on message pipeline to make customization of
  message processing easier.
  * I'll explain details in other days.
