Some other items not mentioned on your list that haven't yet been done. Have been mostly suggested by others:

These are very specific ideas:
- Extended Profile, individual birthday fields optional
- Extended profile, Avatar
- Extended profile, Last.fm toplist (not sure about this)
- Voting Ratio in community member's profile
- Report offensive message
- Tab average ratings
- Tabber's ability to reply to ratings
- Editor, Re-activate ratings, jump back to list
- When giving an low rating, encourage the rater to pm author to suggest improvements
- Assoc. Editor editing/removal of votes
- Enforce tab file statuses, backdate so tabs all have statuses
- Using the tab file statuses, add outdated ratings support (by default hide outdated ratings but keep accessible, outdated ratings aren't used in tab average rating, provide member's with lists of their outdated ratings)
- Add your aqavs listings for archived tabs
- Listing for archived tabs that are updated but the new file falls short of the necessary standard
- More link for latest updated on main page
- bug fix: hide deleted tablature in the vote browser (affects searches too)
- Add tab browser
- Add filters for the future tab browser above and to the individual artists listings by type(genre) and instruments
- Add messaging links to requests

Some more general, more ambitious and bigger and far less defined ideas:
- Improve layout, shift menus around, add sleek usability features, cleanup code etc
- Tab project statuses
- Member info statuses
- Recording events (like rating an tab) and listing those events relevant to members (e.g. member1 rated your tab a 3 out of 5)
- Genres/tags/lessons/difficulty/browse by tuning, etc
- Member favourites/recommendations
- Give members a chance to rectify/justify reported bad comments/ratings
- Member related to member, artist related to artist

Wow, with this lengthy list, I feel bad about asking for new features. Nice comprehensive list though. Thanks for sharing!

- Add messaging links to requests

As I was going through the list, I checked on this idea, and came up with a new one. Should be simple. Probably insignificant:

req_browser.php?param=pattern,21,1712,869295,127,100;page,0

For the Request browser, when the parameters "expired" and "fulfilled" are selected, I think those pages should link back to the actual tab that fulfilled them. Or at least offer the link so that they can do it directly (if you don't want to remove the the request and its results).

I have suggestion for the main site. I didn't notice it in Golbez's list above, but if I missed it I apologize.

Under each member's user profile, it would be nice to have an alert when one or more of your tabs has a new rating, comment, or thank-you. As it is now, I go to my profile, click on all the above-mentioned links and check to see if anyone has left any new feedback on my tabs. I think it would be much more convenient if the link would have a number in parentheses (kind of like when you have new messages in your mailbox) to let me know if any of my tabs have any new ratings/comments/thank-yous.
