I would like to see better support for webbased code.
And getting undocumented modules documented (gb.xml* gb.charts etc)

About optimizing gambas code;
Anyone has tips on what to do/use and not to use.

Thinks like:
Are private vars faster than public ones, or doesn't matter, that sort 
of things

Should we document these knowledge somewhere, since people are writing 
bigger and bigger programs in Gambas I think.
(at least I do)

Add a public writable part to the wiki, so people can post 
things/snippets/comments without needing an account, if the content is 
useful it can be moved by an admin to a more static part of the wiki.
