What would you want to see on the schedule at a developers conference targeted for #WordPress devs (not a WordCamp)?

This wouldn’t be a WordCamp or any event officially associated w/ the Foundation.

Interesting: #WordPress plugin from @methnen that manages data sets via a spreadsheet interface and presents data in chart form.
