Me too! ;-)

- developing a Scheme-based domain-specific language for implementing
  secure/safe/guaranteed-integrity filesystems, using techniques like
  the various secure proof-carrying calculi

- developing file-systems optimized for reading and writing particular
  types of data structures, with the ability to add new data structure
  definitions on the fly, essentially a hybrid between file systems
  and databases

- union directories ala Plan 9 -- combining different resources in a
  filesystem interface; the resources could be different Scheme
  programs and so on -- I guess this is a generalization of Felix's
  ideas #1 and #3
