As part of the Bristol Civi Sprint a proposed new layout has been suggested for the existing Find and Merge Duplicates page. The page is used to add / edit Duplicate Matching Rules for the individual, organisation and household contact types. This wouldn't involve changes to the way the Merge Rules work but the changes will make the page easier to use and understand.
Better volunteer management tools have been on the want list of many a CiviCRM user, dating back as far as 2006. Many of the organizations we work with require tools for managing volunteers apropos to specific events. For example, they may host periodic festivals requiring heavy volunteer participation to cover needs from ticket-taking, to crowd control, to staffing info tables, to A/V.
If you are using Authorize.net as your payment processor (or your clients are) for either one-time payments or automated recurring payments, then my guess is that like me you probably dread the phone call from a bookkeeper such as
"I found some Authorize.net transactions that went through and the money is in the bank, BUT there is no record of the contribution in CiviCRM. What happened?"

A few months Back John Derry from The Monthly Magazine wrote a blog about how they were planning to use CiviCRM for magazine subscriptions.
We (nfpservices) have been invited by The Institute of Fundraising Technology Group to provide a joint presentation on how we have implemented CiviCRM for their initial requirements in terms of handling contacts, membership and events and will be working with them on other elements in the future as well.
It's been quite a while since my last CiviMobile update but that's not to say that I haven't been busy :)
