I think the hardest part is that the community is very large. One thing that I find is a huge problem is old and duplicate content.
Example 1
I do a search for a plug-in and find a lot that have not been updated in well over a year. (It would be great if I could search for a plug-in based on year of last developed or if old out dated plug-ins got taken out)
Example 2
I check the forums and a lot of the posts are duplicate or old with no answers (Could some one merge the posts or delete the ones that don’t add anything)
Example 3
The ideas section has not changed in a long time. The ideas section should be cleaned out. The ideas section should be broken into versions of WordPress (ideas for 2.7 2.8 2.9 3.0 and a section for janric suggestions like make it faster)
Is their another large Open Source project that WordPress could learn form (Linux, Debian, Ubuntu)
The biggest thing we need is a police man to clean and sort out the different sections of WordPress. We keep adding to all these sections without taking out the old stuff. It gets harder and harder as their is more stuff to sort through.
Less is more!
