Open Source as many core plugins as possible (allow the developer community to help with the tasks that follow)- Add namespace support (so pages in the same space can have the same title)
- Make news (blogposts) simply pages with a "news" label I wrote a summary several comments down (news is currently a "second class citizen")
- Add ability to back-date and future-date pages and also set an expiry date (now you can schedule content)
- Add a chronological browser to "Browse Space > Pages" (so we can view any content in a chronological fashion, with filters for content type and labels, etc)
- Alter the way comments work + related permissions (so that Confluence can be used as a proper forum)
- Implement space channels (allows sections of content within a space to have specific permissions, etc) - see also Security (which I believe Space Channels would incorporate and simplify)
- Implement approvals system (with space channels, you could have differnt profiles within a space) – see also: Approval Workflow
- Add the ability to "watch" an RSS feed (now you have mailing lists that can be defined using a mixture of content types, actions such as add/edit, labels, space channels and spaces = lightyears ahead of anything else on the market)
- Allow admis to view/edit watchers of pages/spaces/rss feeds (now you can manage your mailing lists)
- Add ability to email a page (useful for building communities)
- Add private messaging features (now provide a less noisy way for those communities to chatter amongst themselves in order to stop drivel getting on to the "forums" - works like a charm in my experience, as long as you have a quota on the number of private messages)

Those things would be cool though

* the ability to associate labels with Attachments... with the idea that you then could quickly pull together a set of attachments (e.g. powerpoint presentations) that shared a common label (e.g. every presentation that had to do with "selling")
* ability to provide thumbnail images of the contents of an Attachment... with the idea that you could have many Powerpoint slide attached to a page, and could preview them all at once to figure out which ones you like
Yes... folks at my company spend a little bit of time and energy in Powerpoint (in case you're wondering)...
