1. New attribute types:
Textarea for really long multi-line text like signatures and what not.
Image for an avatar.
2. Some way to have a user "profile" page. Probably could do that with the attributes, but it'd be better to have a definable template in the module somewhere.
3. Custom validation and syncronization for passwords and groups. Useful for back-end integration with, say, an existing forum system. Probably falls under the "Single Sign On" request I saw elsewhere, but I'm thinking this would be a biggie for CMSMS adoption -- lots of sites have existing fora and users in them.
4. User blogs
5. User comments to other content items. News would be OK to start, but I think eventually anything should be comment-able.
Those last two might fall outside of the realm of the FEU module... I dunno.
I'm an OK php hacker -- better at modifying other peoples' stuff than I am at creating my own -- and I'd be happy to take a stab at making this happen.... I'd just need someone to point me in the right direction to get started.

Re: FrontEndUsers requests
Items 3 and 4 definately fall out of the scope of the FrontEndUsers module. They'd be modules in and of themselves, or hacks to other modules to allow feusers integration.
FrontEndUsers sends various events when certain things happen (users login, change passwords, logout, etc, etc, etc) so they can be captured by any other module (say a bridge module to SMF, etc) to synchronize passwords and usernames. There's no way we can handle synchronizing with the "package of the week", etc, etc. so that's why we invented 'events' such that we could write further addons to CMS to handle that for us without having to bloat the original module.
Item 1 is doable, and will probably happen before too long (depending upon funds).
Item 2 is also pending, depending upon funds. It'd be an addon module (essentially a real hack on the FrontEndUserListing module).

I see... I misunderstood the intent for the module.mark wrote: #5 already part of Comments Module...
It looks to be just an "enter your name and comment" thing.... Is there a way to integrate it with FEU?
