i'd love to help setup drupal.org + nodejs.module + node.js.

this would give us *tight* integration with drupal.org user accounts,
content and search.

while i'm dreaming, i'd love to have a realtime dashboard for people
collaborating on drupal.org.

log in, load the dashboard, and get (configurable) notifications
pushed down to you.

</dream>
