4) Build a continuous integration server using Seaside, Iliad or AidaWeb. Build an interface to version control systems (possibly supporting both independent systems such as Monticello or file-based such as svn/CVS/git) that can be used from Smalltalk and integrate it with Smalllint code reports. For a more ambitious project, the server should be able to start a new image, upgrade the package, run SUnit tests there and communicate back the results---the time to upgrade the package should be minimized of course!
Are you aware of this two projects ? I don't know other dialects but in Pharo they work:

5) Work on a cross-dialect foreign function call interface and implement it in at least two dialects. Candidates include Alien and GNU Smalltalk's CObject (using existing implementation has the advantage of having to implement in only _one_ other dialect!). Bonus points for implementing a C parser that would be able to construct bindings. GNU Smalltalk already contains a C preprocessor implementation.
Yes!!! And make it (optionally at least) not to block the complete VM while a function is being called.

On the Mac version, having the power of Squeak combined with the power of F-Script would totally rule. Does the CObject FFI allow you to do what F_script does and examine the entire object tree written in Cocoa? That would at least for Macs, give you a full blown GUI external to the Squeak desktop.
