I've been using s9y for four years now, we've talked quite a few times about caching and performance issues, I still remember when the simple cache plugin was released, at that very time I would have had to change CMS if not for that plugin.
I have some features I would like to see on s9y sometime, not necessarily on 1.4 tho:
mod_rewrite real URI change for the freetag plugin (WP has it out of the box)... Is not that of a small issue, the plugin/tag URI ain't very pretty and doing that many redirects isn't SEO friendly.
Caching at the core?... You've giving me good arguments against this before, just wanted to remember it might be a good idea at some point.
Improvement on the multiblog feature: I believe this hasn't changed much since 0.x versions. I started offering free Blogs to friends and customers some years ago but the installation and administration was having a bottleneck on my life so I stopped. I love s9y, but now I have to use/recommend the Wordpress autoinstall in Fantastico anytime I get asked for a Blog or CMS.
anti-Spam plugin: there's this feature which denies duplicated comments, but it compares with all comments published on the Blog, I think it should cover only on comments in the current entry or at least allow this to happen.
functionssmarty.inc.php::entrysummary, It would be nice to have a simple smarty variable with the first 200 characters or so (perhaps set by an argument) so it can be used as summary on singleentry or as metadescription. Every time I update s9y I must set this variable and I believe this could be useful on all templates without having the overhead of another plugin.
Setting tags and cats via popfetcher would be awesome, I would use it, but perhaps is not that necessary.
Perhaps going green by running on solar power instead of relaying on fossil fuels... ;)
There are some issues with WYSIWYG editors besides HTMLAREA, but even this one doesn't load if the Blog's language is set to spanish.
I have tried FCKeditor and TinyMCE without success... I been able to use them at some point, but not without an extra effort and lots of searching on the forums.
Perhaps setting other default HTML editor besides HTMLAREA could be a good idea.
@Andrew: Password protection comes with the "Extended Properties fo rentries" plugin.
@Raimondo: Can you elaborate on the "more powerful rewrite control"? What is insufficient in the current method?
@reinhardl: Why an additional Wiki? What's wrong with the current one?
@Mandrake: Added the URL rewrite for tagging to the Todolist. About Caching, I simply need more developers for help and ideas on this. Same goes for Fantastico, I have no experience with it. About your shortened variable: You can use the |@truncate smarty modifier on the entry.body variable. Setting categories via potfetcher in the mail subject is already possible. I added tags to the todo list.
About the spanish language file from HTMLArea: I would need a spanish developer to check this, I don't know what's wrong inside the file, probably some UTF-8 clash.
I believe this is more a task for Postgresql 8.1.x to clean up this mess. Withdrawing typecast support sucks, I see no way to make s9y properly support this scenario. s9y depends on dynamic typecasting. This is actually a feature of a RDBMS, I see no reason to be so pedantic to remove this. It's like making PHP6 require full variable initalization and getting rid of flexibility.
Add a Favicon button . Simple! but would be cool to have in the admin area just to enter the url of the icon and s9y writes the entry in the index.tpl.

Full PostgreSQL support. Postgresql 8.x has messed up a few things. Would be nice if they could be corrected.
