Not sure if you anyone would want to go with a different downlaod module, but if not I think the current module should have its admin section moved to the module dirrectory. This would of course move it out of general administration to module administration and open it up to non God admins.
I personally think that RavenNuke should switch to one of the other download modules. Maybe NSN? What do you guys think?

NSN GR Downloads is very popular (based on the number of mentions it gets on this site) and of course it is 'group' aware which could be useful and some of us already have modified it for RN CAPTCHA awareness too.

I think NSN GR Downloads is the way to go regarding the download module. But I would like to see some modifications as well, like having different download links for the same file, this will be very useful if for example you want to have different packages for one file (let's say rar, zip, tar, gz, bz2, 7z...), so you can have all links in just one place and the user just choose the best archiver for himself. This will also provide more control over download stats... Just my humble opinion.
I think Montego started a list of requested enhancements for NSN Group Downloads as he is taking over development for that, but I think tracking different file formats as one download might be useful.
I had laid ground work for a tagging/tagcloud system for news items, but I kept putting it off to see what the new version of RN held. Now I want to work on getting a few other things back to normal before I pick it back up.
- Better download system or incorporation of NSN downloads
- social bookmarking links like the new subscription options in feeds
- stats, stats, stats. we've talked about ms-analysis a few times. that was a great module.
- more ajax.

If we were to include a new stats module I would want the ability to disable it, because cPanel comes with Awstats etc and I quite often use Google Analytics. Therefore I don't need the additional load of a stats module. JMO

Would be really nice if you could just upload a directory of files and then they are compressed in the requested format on-the-fly before delivery. I think it can be done with zip gzip and gz.tar but not sure about the others.

Speaking of ms-analysis, the cron update script is broken under latest RN, worked with RN until most recent update.. I believe it may be because it resides in modules/MS_Analysis/include but you have to access the script directly... (not thru module)
was there a security upgrade to prevent such access?

Here's an iphone script I adapted for RN back in August for a client. BTW, since I don't read Spanish, that site doesn't tell me much

I was thinking about this the other day
In 'theory' it should be possible to do something in includes/javascript.php to load additional js stuff on a per module basis much like we did with the module level style sheet.

The iPhone idea seems good but I cannot help wondering why bother just for AvantGo, why not go the whole hog and use something like

I installed that on a site a few years ago. Installation was really easy - just like adding a normal module, and it converts a lot of content, not just news.
The standard *nuke Downloads, Weblinks and Stats modules have definitely seen better days and there have been numerous discussions for potential functionality enhancements to those but some presentation enhancements would be nice too.
The News module - well I tried not to mention it but it needs a lot of work, especially in 'modularising' it and it certainly should not be reliant on code in the users theme for it to work. Themes IMHO should be for presentation not for core code functionality.
Language support - it's far superior to standard *nuke but there are still things that can be done to improve it (use arrays and correct the logic in get_lang ).
The core *nuke permissions system should be retired and replaced by an upgraded NSN Groups system so we have just the one set of code handling all permissions - could pave the way for more granular permission rules (read/write/edit/moderate/administer).
