Broadly I see us fighting around 4 different battles simultaneously the next 2 weeks:

1. Data lakes. Exports. Imports. All the data. Reliably. Many different services.
2. The deteriorating state of our libraries.
3. Keep the lights on work in the plugin server itself.
4. New developments that unblock a lot of things: installing plugins, action matching.

Data lakes is the big big business objective we must nail. We're pretty good with what we already support, but we could do more :). #404 and https://github.com/PostHog/plugin-server/issues/406 are the most important important points this time. The S3 queue also needs to be finished #399 for extra safety.

Yet we can't ignore the other things.

Action matching in the plugin server (#235) implementation is well underway now, so that'll ship in this next sprint.
On a different note, after all this work on features I'd love to make sure Plugins docs are up to date and top notch (PostHog/posthog.com#1396).
Besides that, happy to take on other tasks from the extensive board, to be discussed.
