Our big list of tickets is here:
(defects grouped by priority)

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=priority&type=defect&order=priority


We're coming up to a release and one thing we'll need to do is make sure
all the commands and flags are fully documented in the user guide. This
would involve modifying the doc/Cabal.xml docbook file:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/109


Making sure cabal-install compiles with the latest version of Cabal is a
priority and should be fairly easy, there have been some api changes.
Then it's a matter of testing and seeing what still needs improving.
