Hack away at systemd, the journal, and integration with our favorite languages, daemons, and log utilities.

Some focus items may be:

• Network support for the journal.
• Performance profiling the journal.
• Easy Type=notify service support for more languages.
• Better socket activation support.
• journal logging libraries for every major language. Python and PHP
  are deep into being kicked off. Java, Ruby, and node.js are next on my
  list.
• Once a language has journal support, build application-level
  integration. For example, Drupal's watchdog could go field-for-field
  into journald. Jenkins could have a plugin for build and
  administration logs. Twisted's log facility could send to journald.
• Tools to automatically ship journal logs off to systems like
  Graylog2 and Flume. This is possible now in the
  lowest-common-denominator of syslog, but we could be preserving
  fields.
• Documentation and examples for the native journal APIs
• Documented deployment strategies for recording append-only logs of
  the hash chains
