The first thing on my list was to give Savannah a facelift.  Basically, 
I'd like to make it look like gnu.org, so it doesn't look so out of 
date.  This facelift can be performed with the current PHP codebase.

Regarding the "new Savane", I was planning on a modular rewrite, which 
would aim to make Savane more "Web 2.0", more akin to something like 
GitHub, but free and "awesome."  I haven't done much yet, but the idea 
is to rewrite piece by piece, so the code migration can take place in 
tiny bits and happen before the completion of the full project.  Since I 
do Perl web development for my day job, I was going to write the new 
system in Perl.

I'm all for help with SoC, but it would have been nice to have been 
notified first.

Multiple public mailing lists exist for both Savannah and Savane.
