There is a kicad wish list at:
http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/Kicad#Wish_list:

that I've maintained on-and-off over the years - (just added the ones in this thread ). Anyone can 
add to it - having a list has value in it helps in prioritizing.

I should point out that a lot of the things that were on this list were accomplished!

( I need to build the latest stable and update this list again. )

Collecting money to pay people working on OS projects almost always ends up with hard feelings and 
destructive results. One thought I've had is to use the internet code bidding market place to hire 
someone to complete some feature that I don't have time to work on myself. Sharing the bid info on 
this list would give people here a chance to participate.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to
the vessel in which it is stored
than to anything on which it is poured.
