More benchmarks!
-Compilers: versions, flags, different architectures, more compilers
-Include javascript engines in benchmarks. At least node or something using libv8
-A benchmark to help test reponsiveness to better test schedulers, kernels and filesystems
-PTS: default test collection(eg.: IO profile consist of postmark, sysbench and iozone), try to use those default test collections is most benchmark articles, PTS synthetic benchmark scores(weighted score of a benchmark profile)?

Now you can say: Hey, disable the adblocker and I will write higher quality articles, but will you give us a warranty for that? As I see it the breaking of that circle has to come from your side, not from ours.

it's an investment, but then most things which improve quality are, but just pumping out articles so you can claim to have posted X number of articles at the end of the month will not change people's minds in using an adblocker. Half of what is posted could probably be placed into a twitter: "Hey I am testing RHEL 7.0 and looking good" instead of an article pointing to an old article and saying your in the processes of running the <what ever> test suit.
Research your articles instead of going with some hype about mega super duper bug #34353 to get clicks and if by some error it seems the hype was wrong be a man and post it.

The first thing that comes to mind is more low end system testing.
Here I'm thinking Atom and any ARM based bards you can find that are similar to the AM1 boards. Head to head testing and comparisons would be fantastic. The potential uses for these boards are embedded controllers, HTPC systems and small servers. In other words don't test them with the idea that they are high performance workstations but rather low cost solutions to a number of non mainstream uses.
Oh and power performance is important and frankly you need a better way of getting the power behavior of various boards across. For one in theses sorts of applications the idle and sleep power draws are just as important as the power draw when compiling Linux or whatever you load the machine with. For HTPC the power draw when playing a video should be documented too.

Desktop responsiveness
I'd like to see an article about BFS I/O scheduler and its prospecting integration, including its effects on distros adopting it like Openmandriva, that carries a set of patches like CK1, BFS (CPU by Con Kolivas), BFS (I/O scheduler by Paolo et al).
Also I'd like to see its effect on low memory systems with slow disks and CPUs.
Thanks for the great work, Michael et al. You do a great job.

I understand the argument that Ubuntu has the biggest share, but I doubt that market share is proportionate to the Phoronix readership market share. Apart from a few fanboy Ubuntards around these parts, I think most of us use distros that are more representative of the standard Linux stack and would like to see pretty much any distro other that Ubuntu (or its derivatives) used.
