High priority project
Projects like Trisquel and gNewSense are dedicated to distributing a complete GNU/Linux operating system that contains only free software. They are two of a list of high-quality distributions that modify Debian and Ubuntu to create a complete free operating system without any binary-only blobs or package trees that contain proprietary software.

OpenDWG is a collection of CAD files, a specification for CAD format,
and proprietary software tools for creating and manipulating CAD
files. We need a similar initiative that is committed to software and
user freedom.

High priority project
Reversible debugging (the ability to "step backwards" through a program) is an obviously powerful tool. Since being added to this list, GDB has implemented some reversible debugging support. The GDB maintainers are now looking for contributors interested in building on this foundation.

Free software projects such as OrangeMesh make it easy for users to turn their network routers into mesh network access points. However, there is no way of running OrangeMesh at this time without the use of proprietary software.

We need a compatible free software replacement for Oracle Forms that works with
free SQL databases. This software would allow people currently using the
proprietary Oracle DB to more easily migrate to a free software database
system, without having to rewrite all of their user-interface applications.

We need software capable of automatically transcribing recordings. YouTube is beginning to offer this service, but this is a kind of computing that we should be doing on our own systems with free software.

The most important work for freedom that this culture has seen in generations

"The Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallman's work represents the most important work for freedom that this culture, the American culture, has seen in many many generations because it takes the ideas of freedom and it removes it from the ivory tower, and it removes it from lawyers, and places it in a community—a technology community—that is one of the most important communities defining the contours of freedom that most people in our culture and increasingly around the world will know."
— Lawrence Lessig, founder of Creative Commons.
