Various suggestions... replays, menu navigation, chat, etc
I know SE is probably never going to see this, but it would be nice in a future version if you could watch a run in progress, specifically of a team mate to give less experienced players real time help getting through tough obstacles. It would be what team mates would actually do were they in the same room playing. Even if this was handled in players dedicated servers and not on the main game server it could help.
Also, when someone says "Hey, look at my replay. I am at position 4500" and you are at position 100 it's really time consuming to get to position 4500 in the list. The problem is only compounding with the added players. Perhaps a "goto position" text field, and/or a player name search feature would be great. Or how about a "Nowhere Near You" list 
Upgrades to the chat server to add chanserv/nickserv to better handle nicks, channel admins, etc are probably going to be a welcome site pretty soon, at least for the devs here and the die hard chat room regulars. And IRC bots could take care of things like message of the day, swear filters, and other automated duties such as advertising the forums. In turn, this could help out with questions needing answered, and more efficiently direct people to the forums for help with specific needs when the bot recognizes specific key words. Help features could be added to these bots to do all sorts of things. Otherwise the chat could get really congested with lots of the same questions over and over. "How do I switch jump?" for example.
Just a thought.

Nice ideas.
I particularly like the one about team mates helping each other.
In general I think the idea of teams and what you can do with them needs to be expanded a lot.
Things like team management, name changes,.....

Name changes... that's the one I forgot.

Also, I am not sure what is involved to do this, but the ability to copy and paste in the chat would be very helpful. Or if possible, clickable url's.

I honestly believe team management is a very pressing issue. At the moment the possibilities are extremely limited.
