-- Better bitmap insertion. Basically getting things like DPI information out of bitmaps and having that "just work" for most people. I'd also be nice to integrate a base64 encoder on the load function to embed images on load also. Lastly, I think we should have some way to set up a clipping path on images that have full transparency. This might be an extension though.
Part one is a great idea. Is it enough work for SoC? And could you offer more detailed explaination of part 2 there? clipping? transparency?
-- Imagemagick bitmap operations. I still really like this one, I think that people got confused last year thinking I wanted to convert vector-to-raster and then do an operation on it. No, really, I want to only have operations on things that are already bitmaps. This way you can do the simple bitmap stuff without using The GIMP.
I think it would be majorly cooler to have right click "edit in gimp" and use Verse for realtime updates in inkscape. But since that hasn't caught on, I think we should push for integrating gegl rather than imagemagick. gegl might be able to offer us things like rendering for svg filters and such too.
