There's a very long list for sure. Off of the top of my head:
More learning materials aimed at different personas (eg people that know C vs people that know Rust vs people that know Python, Go, etc vs game devs vs embedded devs).
Demo / template project for how to get started doing X (ios app, android app, embedded stuff, game dev, ...)
Data structure implementations!
Commonly needed building blocks, like parsers, web servers, etc (either pure Zig or C wrapper as a starting point)
More leaning materials / template projects / integrations specifically dedicated to using Zig as a toolchain rather than a language.
From a more social perspective:
Meetups! Need for nations to shift from "pandemic" into "endemic" gears first, though.
Funny story: I checked to see if something like your idea for data structure implementations (the easiest option on the list in my opinion) already exists on GitHub, and it's strange..... I found that someone updated an old project with this purpose, that was inactive, for the first time in ages, following this post. I think we're being watched 👀
In all seriousness, I do wonder what the standard library will cover once the project is in the position to make a library that won't risk breaking during language development. If it's anything like .NET, it won't leave anything out haha.
Learning material and common applications and tools seem like my speed most of all, so I'll give it some thought! Thank you!
We don't know yet how the Zig standard library should look like, but we normally lean toward lean solutions (no pun intended). Regardless, in a low level programming language like Zig, there's a lot of space for different implementations of the same general data structure.
The standard library should be succinct but powerful, providing only a common and better solution, and users can implement their own solutions as they need. We don't want it to be bloated, but equally we don't want it to be spartan.

Also more talks for Zig SHOWTIME plz :^)
These are all really good suggestions!
