Copying the idea from the Ubuntu guys, I propose a Papercuts project. A paper cut is a trivially fixable usability bug that a user would encounter using a brand new installation of Elgg.
I have the first 15 ideas for it, please tell me if any of them has already been implemented or if they are not that trivial to solve:
info@elgg.org
Security issues should be reported to security@elgg.org!

16. Wrong parsing of urls in the profile's message board? This is what I got using the community site:
17. Why do I have a link for profile in the list below a user's image if I am already in his/her profile.
1) Show number of unread messages in a badge to the side of the envelope icon (Topbar)
The rationale for this is that it is not the same to approach 2 messages than to approach 58.
Already done! I think this is standard now and if not then it was done with a plugin.
My comments in bold. If you'd like to submit patches for any of these, Elgg's bug tracker is here: http://trac.elgg.org/elgg
It already does this
Agree
Right now there is a mess with all the different types of icons, I believe we should go for a clean, one-color style that works well with most themes.
Regular users will find this options distracting and confusing. Hide them away.

@Cash You are right. I don't have an Elgg install at hand right now so I couldn't remember exactly how it behaved. That's why I used the community site to find some of these bugs.
Regarding the different bugs:
3) Is it possible to solve this without much rework?
4) The bookmarks thing confuses me. You click on the title and you are taken to an intermediate page. I think the title should point to the bookmark URL and have a separate Details or Comments link instead of the Visit Resource
12) To reproduce this go to the Add a topic screen in the discussions of any group. The label Topic message is bigger than Title for example.
3) I'd probably create a custom left sidebar for the settings page to remove those. It wouldn't be that much work, but it would be a special exception.
4) Agree on that. I have changed that on my version of Elgg.
12) Just checked this with Firebug and they seem to be the same. Is this a browser issue?
12) Seems to be a browser issue. It looks okay in Firefox 3.5 but not in Chrome 3.
18. "Edit profile icon" should read "Edit profile picture"
19. Group title in "Group membership" widget should be clickable. At the moment only the image is.
Will start filling bug reports next week If I have time.
13) elggversion -> doesn't technically present a security risk, except that it does make the site more easily identifiable to bot code as being elgg and thus acts as an attractor to hackers and spammers.. essentially it most likely increases the amount of spammers that the site has to deal with - either successfully using anti spam methods or unsuccessfully.. i'd prefer that these 2 metatags were removed.
