These are things I am working on, though I might work a lot slower with some than others.
Article/main namespace
- Hardware Review: CH Products controls (Combatstick, throttle and pedals) Needs images, copy editing and cutting down on the criticism on other manufacturers.
- Introduction to Low level VFR navigation
- Go through Special:Search/commit and replace explicit URLs with repository link templates.
- Synthesising sounds with Audacity I am a noob on this, but have some ideas I have tested that I could develop further and disseminate.
- Flight computer I just can not believe there wasn't an article on this yet. Will restart this some day.
- Howto:Improve an aircraft As a complement to Howto:Make an aircraft, which is maybe 20-30% percent about that instead of about making an aircraft from scratch.
Category namespace
Categorization of uncategorized pages
When used well, categories will make it easier to find related articles laterally in the category hierarchy, as well as find more general articles upwards.

Adding structure to the categories
- Separating images and file from article categories, but linking together image and article categories.
- Diffusing screenshot categories into a structure mirroring the aircraft category structure, which in turn mirrors Wikipedia's aircraft category structure.
It would also be wonderful if new editors could somehow be educated to understand that categories are not tags. Presumably they expect images to be easier to find if they add as many categories as possible (that still seem at least remotely related).
I would consider that better file names and file descriptions (as well as some linking) probably is more efficient.

- {{table cell}} meta template in sandbox.
Messagebox meta template(s)

Policies
There is unfortunately a growing need for policies. Like with categories I strongly believe that they should form a tree, with a general unspecific, very concise and more or less universally agreed on policy at the root.
As these will be used both as guidelines for users, as guidelines for users wanting help from administrators and as guidelines for administrators, there will need to be some form of consensus about them as well as a policy describing how to propose new policies, changes in existing policies and amendments to polices.
