I don't know if you wanted private replies or have them posted to the 
list but Thunderbird didn't make it easy for me to reply privately so 
here's one nomination so far.

I would like to nominate elinks, a really fine text based web browser. 
Unfortunately, the javascript support is very poor at this time and 
would probably require a major facelift to that support to include DOM 
support.  I only mention it because a surprisingly large number of 
people still use it and seem to sware by it but I personally find the 
javascript support so poor that I go and use Firefox instead.  But it 
might be an interesting project to get involved with.
