Dwarves that aren't clinically retarded. Basically I want them to be able to take care of basic needs in a pinch if I don't hover around them to tell them what to do.

Coal is in, and has been for a long time. It's just not called coal.

I would like realistic mining deposits a lot, and probably improved trading. If I say that I need a lot of iron, I'm not happy with you bringing 3 bars of it.

Oh yeah, completely forget about that all the time, just oil then! (Maybe gunpowder too :p)

Don't forget the pigshit.

Also, all werebadgers should have the 'Doesn't really care' attribute by default.

Education (part and parcel to personality re-write, I should think).  I should be able to have my CMD train his staff, depending upon his Teacher skill, WITHOUT having to drop a few babies every month.

Childcare. Put that baby down, Urist.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Mostly stuff related to increasing the depth of fort mode.  A few things have already been suggested, but:

Childcare:  It would be nice if kids could stay with dad or an official instead of following mommy around on patrol.
Education: This could be applied to kids and adults, but the problem of untrained medical staff is widely known.  I imagine the infrastructure for military training could be applied here in some fashion.
Inns / Taverns: Something to spice the game up a bit, I agree that only having people show up to live there, trade or kill you is a bit bland after a while.
Improved Farming: One guy shouldn't be able to provide for the whole fort, and incentive to produce more than one kind of food would be nice.
Birth Control: Needs no elaboration.

As a whole, I'd also like for the injury mechanics to get fleshed out some more.  Having your stomach rot should probably have some effect, and of course the lightsaber whips are well known enough.

I can't really pick a single feature I'd like to see most.  Education and improved farming are pretty high on the list though.

the personality rewrite (got pushed backwards unfortunately). I generally favor all changes that enable the dwarves to tell stories without interaction with the player.

Completion counts as a feature, right?  :P
Of the stuff currently on the Dev page, the explorer, hero, and slayer roles are probably the dev items containing my currently most wanted features, which mostly relate to creature modding.

the personality rewrite (got pushed backwards unfortunately). I generally favor all changes that enable the dwarves to tell stories without interaction with the player.
The personality rewrite is actually kind of ongoing, it just hasn't been noted very much (I guess it is sort of paused with the sites updates, but who knows).

What happened to the personality rewrite? I was under the impression it was a precursor to all this stuff about entities interacting with each-other.
Parts of it have already happened, but I'm not doing it as an independent large push in the way I thought, so I haven't particularly noted it -- there are lots of other things wrapped up with the personality changes that we're still going to do later.
