I thought you and I would work on publisher-related topics.

Lots of people have a stake in the widget framework, especially Garrett.

But sprints are a good place to brainstorm.  One topic I'd like to
brainstorm is the last stage of the publishing process.  Now,
we don't have a formal publishing interface. Informally, an object is
called and returns something. I'd like to flesh this out a bit more. :)
I'd also like to make it possible to plug in additional processing, for
example to provide site look at feel.
