Partial Install Profiles
Agaric wants configuration profiles, that potentially can be combined, as well as applied later than the original installation.
And it seems like we can have it!

Ask Agaric: Settings for a Drupal theme without requiring a module
Hi,
I've been breaking my brain over some issue and I cant figure it out so I
figured I'd check with a fellow themer(s?)![Related d.o. thread: http://drupal.org/node/247032 ]
What I'm basically trying to do is use drupal theme settings in a file
that is not processed by drupal, and its part of a theme. I also do not
Agaric wants Drupal to do n/#nid and u/#uid paths so it would have pseudo short URLs
If Drupal provided n/ and u/ instead of or as an alternative to node/ and user/ it would create pseudo short URLs (like tinyurl.com etc) by default.
That would be really cool.
Art Head plan
Potential client with some great goals:
Hey Benjamin!
Thanks for the chat the other day - I feel much better about things now!
Here's a little write-up of what I need/want Art Head to do. I've also attached [copied below] my original Civic Space proposal, which has a lot of detail about the goals, users, tasks, and all that rot.
Unuplugged: a Drupal offline synchronization module (idea)
Initial vision:

The Drupal synchronization module
The Drupal Synch module
* knows that when it last synched you are at node 253, user 43, comment 422, etc...
Logs, configuration settings, installed modules etc. could - should - be one way, from the server to your offline Drupal.

I'd like to see if there are places it could help Drupal. The current preferred solution for high-performance Drupal, though, is memory caching:

Like everyone else using a lot of Drupal, I want sophisticated change management where we have:
1) a live site with users posting content like crazy and possibly administrators making some configuration changes, and
Domain Thieves and Domain Leeches
Normally these classes of entities or people (allegedly) are called domain name squatters and domain farmers.
Squatting and farming are honorable, worthy pursuits however, so we need other words. (Agaric considered "domain poachers" but there's something of an honorable tradition of poaching on the King's land.)
movie scene idea to go on power-to-exchange
on Power To Exchange
ben-agaric wants
a movie where a bank robber calmly quotes Seth Godin about the attention economy while brandishing a gun.
It's stuff like this that will make Community-Managed Taxonomy absolutely essential for PowerToExchange!
That and a decent rating system could make PowerToExchange a great spot for one-hit (or occasional hit) wonders.
