yeah, a lot more than nautilus needs any shiny features we need to make
things like
drag and drop and copu and paste work properly. Each of the listed bugs is
nothing
major in itself, but I think that if we manage to fix all of them nautilus
would be a much
better app.

I'll get to it this weekend. Will find numbers or post bugs for un-numbered
bugs
and add a section of my favorite major 2.3 bugs :) that's where the real fun
is.
And if i have any energy left I'll browse bugzilla and find some more bugs.

Using the nautilus page for this was mentioned. That sounds good, but the
TODO
and the wiki on gnomesupport.org are also options. Using the wiki would
allow people
to remove fixed bugs, add more bugs, and would reduce the chance the list
getting un-maintained
because I'm too busy.
