Skills... but not what you think
Don't add skills... heck, I've seen a lot of discussions suggesting that it's very doubtful you can find a skill that doesn't fit into the existing system.
But, discussing the skills that are there in depth would be wonderful. Do a series of articles with each one tackling a single skill and exploring it in depth. Possibly include things like new uses for the skill, aid for the players and DM in identifying when the skill should be checked, example DC's, possible skill synergies, rules alterations (crafting time variant rules comes to mind) etc...
Additionally, and this is one area where it would be cool to pull from the host of D20 publishers you'll be working with, include with the article a comprehensive list of the "New Uses for Old Skills" that have come out from various publishers.
I know that for me, and my players for that matter, real information on skills with some good meat on it would be incredible. So basically, I'm hoping for articles on skills where the article is the authority on that skill and what you can do with it.
