New Contributors

 * improved "getting started as a dev" docs (code organization, design overview)

New Deployers

 * geo replicas (proxy affinity + tiered zones + separate replication interface)
 * ring server w/ auto device detection
 * remote testing tool (if functests are sufficient, then at least docs)
 * concurrent reads to a single object
 * on-disk compression

New Client Apps

 * improved language bindings
 * better docs about ideal client access patters for swift
 * better docs about designing datasets to be stored in swift

New End Users

 * tiered storage cluster
 * better traversal abstractions (how can I get a listing of a large container)
 * metadata searching
 * server-side object splitting (large single-stream upload)
 * multi-range support
 * CORS support
 * on-disk encryption
 * API v2

Basic "Be More Awesome" Things (Misc)

 * FS-specific tuning (eg better disk walking)
 * replication improvements: eg ring-version-aware communication, "replicate now" (or general replication priority) support
 * remove webob
 * replace eventlet?
 * container sharding

Therefore, what are the summit plans?
