I could, but I probably won't (I explained it to the author of tumme
at length)

I'd rather help with other things.
1.) Integration of a (Text-)Browser into Emacs
2.) Alleviations, improvements to the file/buffer management (buffer-menu?)
To 1.): I strongly believe that Emacs could improve my browsing
experience tremendously (I'm using w3m and firefox). Looking at the
TODO list only w3 development is fitting. I started w3 once or twice
some years ago and it wasn't usable. Maybe a not so ambitious
project like emacs-w3m or a browsing capability under gnus is better
suited for such a "killer application"?
To 2.): With gazillions of open files/buffers the buffer
management/switching becomes very unwieldy. It always goes like
this: "Opened I already a shell buffer, or was it eshell? What was
the name of this buffer I replied to someone? I know there's a calc
buffer but what was the starting character (for buffer name
completion) and how can I place him properly within my current buffer
layout". And finding something in the buffer-menu output is painful
(maybe more sorting commands like the T command would be helpful), on
the other hand the completion of buffer names is great in itself but
often uses some buffers where interesting contents are displayed.
Using more frames and window-manager capabilities helps but is not a
cure-all.
It would be kind if you or some developer could point me to further
directions of the Emacs development in these fields.
