What are people looking forward to / hoping for in terms of QL-related software, hardware, events etc for this year? (pardon my plagiarism )

The list for last year threw up some interesting projects, some of which have seen the light of day, sadly some didn't.

My wishlist include some projects I am thinking through and may complete (who knows)
  • QL Games tabletop games console (putting use to the old system one more time)

    RaspberryPi QL (Putting the original QL BB to use one more time)

    QDOS on a new circuit board (FPGA or other here we come)

    LINUX QL on a Stick

    A seperate boxed extension Microdrive for the QL (that looks like the QL and not the ZX Spectrum)

    SuperQL?
what are yours?

Off topic:

Learned recently that a dear friend had a hand in desgining Raspberry PI's CPU. Apparently, the ARM core was dropped in secretly in order to further self-test the chip - the real purpose is the vector arithmetic / vector graphics - that's why the 4 generations of chips have been sold to Apple iPod/iPhone and Nokia smartphones.
