I was tagged by Eddie Lopez from Usability blog.
5 wishes as user
- cross-platform profile sync (bookmarks, news feeds, contacts, blocked content, etc.)
- better news feeds (folders, folder views, trash can)
- give more focus to Opera mail (don't forget to add ability of removing attachments)
- undo closed window or undo tabs from closed window(s)
- improved Notes (rich text, pictures, date stamp, sorting, integration of Notes and some blogging systems??)
5 wishes as web developer and web designer
- native developer tools
- better source viewer/editor
- fix all known bugs in CSS 2.1
- support parts of CSS 3: border-radius, selectors, multiple backgrounds, RGBA, box-shadow
- XSLT document() function
5 wishes as Opera fan and tester:
- better icon (logo of Opera browser, not company)
- better update system
- open or half-open bug tracking system (ability to see at least your own submissions)
- better handling of needed but not presented plug-ins
- "I prefer ergonomics over being a populist platform." Eddie Lopez' wish #4
Don't move tab bar to "correct" place by default please!
Extra wishes as user
- fit to width, zoom, encoding in per-site prefs
- better sessions management
- saving files with original filename, not 8.3 DOS format
- based on Notes basic PIM
- Unified meta-data interface from non-tropo's wish #2
- Tabs grouping
- improved Bookmarks (option to store textual content of a page inside bookmark, and this should be searchable)
- contact managment with views instead of folders (so I can have contacts in multiple groups without having to copy them)
