- allow for killing (slow) consumer, rather than producer – python cmd line tool?
- dequeue when all current browsers have received message (more efficient topic, also represents a step towards 1.0 model)

scratch list of stuff to help with
You can also look in JIRA under the starter section.
Here are some additional things... The following are nice task to pick up for new committers, (Please mail the list if you have interest in doing any of these)
- Creation of Perl Client — Nice task to start on
- Integrating AMQP-MGMT into the Java broker
- Writing examples and getting started pages — Nice task to start on
- Help update this site — Nice task to start on
- Profiling for performance improvements
- Spring integration
- JCA / App server integrations
- C++ broker
- Message Priority
- Selectors
- Lock Free queue implementation
- Java broker
- Transparent 0.8/0.9/.10 support in the Java broker
- Add Flow To Disk
- Message Federation for Java (Fan out & forward to remote queue) – look at C++ broker and impl in Java (might need to wait for 0-10 (M4))
- Flow control - throttling of overactive producers – might need 0-10 (M4)
