Any objections or concerns that people feel the need to voice? Anything that other people would like to see during these releases?
In 0.48:
1. Add an already created Airbrush tool. I played with this a little and it is quite cool, even though some terminology is inevitably techie.
2. Integrate GSoC projects. IMO since we already have D-BUS integration there, we need to do same what GIMP did - checking for an already running instance and using it instead of creating a new process.
3. Finish Maximilian's patch for guides selection. Being able to distribute guides like objects would be awesome. Another low hanging fruit here will be what Scribus has since 1.3.5 - aligning objects to a selected guideline.
4. Finish Jon's autoswatches, if he will have time for this.
5. Use recently added color management in poppler based PDF/AI import plug-in.

I don't know how many times this was already discussed, but we need a single release which would *really* concentrate on bugfixing and quality/speed of rendering. Yep, I know that all day bugfixing and no new feature makes Jack a dull suicidal boy, but let's face it -- Inkscape is a tortoise crawling uphill to die at the top of Kilimanjaro. This really should stop. Just like all the craze with renderiing artefacts in gradients.
Another thing that should have happened ages ago is switching to the usual coordinates system.
