Because I spent too long on the lottery machine yesterday...

One of the big advantages of open source is that if you don't like something you can fix it, or pay someone to fix it for you. So, if you'd won the Euro lottery (£117 million), what little "quirks" of your favourite distro or software would you pay someone to fix?

What projects would you donate to?

I'd put it towards WordPress, and have people make "themes" that turn it into an RSS aggregator and notepad. Then I'd fund Android apps to coincide with same. Having to depend on Simplenote and Google Reader is a pain.

Next I'd figure out how to do something about Gmail and Google search dependencies.

If I could get LJcode sites to play nicely with each other, that'd be neat.
