You aren't looking very hard for developers. I at least don't know where we are going. I've got a pretty good idea but most of what I do is channel and direct rather than write code.
So for example Appletalk over PPP wasnt on my 2.2 list until someone said "Here is the appletalk over PPP code". Similarly I've no idea what is going to appear in IP routing, it depends what the various people playing with aspects of it suddenely appear with.
Really Im more of a hoover for small escaped patches and working on keeping the infrastructure solid when new things are merged - its very easy to add a neat feature, but often quite tricky to add it the right way.
The main stuff Im actually _writing_ at the moment (apart from a commercial thing) are drivers for the odder parts of the IBM PC110 palmtop, and the Linux/Mac68K port - http://macintrash.cymru.net if you want to see a MacII running Linux.
