Personally, the highest ranking item on my Wx wishlist is that someone 
(or ideally several someones) went through the pain of learning C++, 
wxWidgets, XS (aka C + perlapi + the actual XS bits), and the Wx.pm code 
enough to help Mattia maintain the beast. We have a pretty bad bus 
factor and I don't think it's fair that we're putting as much pressure 
on a fellow volunteer by simply depending on his work this much.

That being said, I have been reading the Wx XS code here and there to 
the best of my limited abilities. Progress is slow and distraction is 
cheap. :(

Cheers,
Steffen
