Most missed: Quick and easy web-based publishing with full explorer panel functionality, like I used to have with TreePad which I stopped using because UR is so superior in so many other ways.

To Standout: Web-based publishing first, then the ability for site visitors to leave comments in items, then the ability for the site owner to extract the comments back into his/her UR database. Finally, and I know this is ridiculous, UR becomes the front end of a wiki-like shared publishing system, that operates on Mac or PC. PUBLIC COLLABORATION is where the web is going; this kind of ability/functionality would make UR huge, IMHO. I could use it for all my private purposes on my own machine and then share certain databases all over the world.

Attract New Geek Users: Turn column views into live databases like an MS Access table, with full-editing, insert, delete, and the ability to create and add new attributes while still in the columns view.

Attract New Normal users: The control over whether documents are stored and edited internally is confusing and kind of scary at first. My biggest initial doubt was putting all my eggs (documents) in one basket (the UR database), so clearly dealing with this and allowing a complete and perfect export to a filesystem folder tree would make people feel better about trying UR in the first place. Afterall , the product is called UltraRecall not StoreAll. Once it can be trusted to connect to documents harmlessly, people will get to know its other virtues and buy in more happily.
