I like the idea of sharing todo lists, and if you don't mind some commentary on your list...
It's clear that some of those are just thoughts you have bouncing around, and are not very well fleshed out on your list. Or in other words, I read them on your list, and I'm not sure what you are trying to propose as a project.
I think some of the projects that you have marked "small" could easily become large projects if not careful!
And, I think the screenshot web page is a good idea! Would you be offended if someone else did that? (I probably won't, but I still think it's a good idea.) This is one of those cases where registering the domain name (I checked) might be a good idea, if you would get offended by someone taking that idea, at least force them to choose a new name.
Thanks for your commentary. This is exactly why I feel it is such a good thing to share one's ideas openly. I agree these are not concrete ideas - they are more of a reminder for me next time I'm looking for a project. E.g. "sound-gen in flash" is basically to remind me that it is now possible to synthesize audio in Flash dynamically. You can fill an array with 44,100 bytes (0-255) and it will play that for one second. This would be a very logical extension of my research project: http://chir.ag/493 and http://chir.ag/493/water/ that was done using a Java Applet. I figure Flash work pretty well for stuff like this too.
I have absolutely no problems with anyone else making these apps or buying the domain names including screenshotnow.com. In fact I expect others to either make these apps or completely obsolete them by making other things that work even better. I move things down to the 'baked' section once I find something has been already made well. E.g. I wanted to make an equation solver/calculator-creator using JSMath. It would let anyone with very basic math skills to create say, a mortgage calculator using simple formulas. Then anyone could fill in the variables to get the answer. And you could share your calculators with others. One day I found this: http://my.instacalc.com/calc/429c5824467344b29f3dbdb57c58498... and it does almost exactly what I wanted to do (though I would have a different/nicer UI).
