Me as well, particularly around this idea of scalable print output  
that is hit on in the Cartographic Engine idea

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Cartographic_Engine#Ideas_for_Summer_of_Code_2010_Project

and in the QGIS idea of better vector output:

http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2010#SVG.2FPDF_export_improvements

and the Mapnik project ideas of "Better print support":

http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/GSOC2010/Ideas

For now, as the Mapnik project we are applying as a mentoring  
organization, but either way (if we are accepted or not accepted) I'd  
like to be involved in mentoring and helping discuss any projects  
involving scalable/print output from OSGEO software.
