Having written open source software myself, and being a subscriber to mailing lists, etc, there is a realization that the number one thing missing from smaller open source projects is feedback from users.

I submitted a bug to Mozilla and it was fixed in amonth or two - large inline pngs did not display right until 1.3. I also submitted a feature request for sodipodi - bevel. I would be interested in cocoa or carbon open source applications.
Here's a suggestion
I mostly do writing, web deign and graphics. One obvious feature would be an open source word processor that didn't litter the html code with font or style sheet declarations and would use line breaks instead of paragraph breaks. I can't use anything besides Appleworks for poetry or code it myself, because other WYSIWYG editors double space my poetry.
Why I don't use open source more
I don't use X-windows applications on my Mac because all the dependencies are screwed up because I installed UNIX Utilities for OS X from BSD Mall and nothiing works except the X server. I can use Abiword (that I installed from the web), but it is so flaky on the import and export and I can't cut and paste between X and Aqua. I told them and the Mac store I bought it from as well as another one in my sister's town.
