In a lot of ways, to be more useful to developer.ubuntu.com, we just need to do the things that make this site better anyways.
Better tagging
Questions only show up in the script if they are tagged application-development. So it's important that questions that might be useful have that tag. It would also be extremely helpful if questions tagged application-development also had programing language tags where appropriate.
As the site aims to mostly support the new Ubuntu SDK, getting things tagged qml would be a great start. When the cookbooks were first generated, the SDK was new and there wasn't much in the qml tag. Being able to filter on questions that include both the application-development and qml tag would make the human reviewer's job much easier.
Up voting
Currently the scripts filter out questions that have less than to votes. Voting up the best questions will allow that threshold to be set higher and help the best content come to the top.
Hacking
Like hacking in Python? Have experience with the StackExchange API? Maybe you have some ideas to make the scripts better? You can check out the source online or branch it with:
bzr branch lp:~mhall119/ubuntudeveloperportal/askubuntu-scripts
