I guess we should start getting some ideas going for tasks. Three that 
immediately spring to mind:

- libavfilter filter API implementation (Has anything more happened with that?)

- clean up CLI options (I haven't checked properly but there were some 
overlapping options, some don't work as it appears they should, etc; -me and 
-me_method for example)

- predefined target profiles to impose restrictions and use good quality 
settings for users that don't need to understand everything about digital A/V 
conversion/compression

The second isn't too big a task so probably isn't a good suggestion.
