Python Support for python wrapping and programmable filters (that call pipeline). 5
Dynamic default parameters ParaView 2 has lots of custom GUI code for filter parameters. ParaView 3 relies much more on server manager XML code and autogenerated panels. Missing from the new panels is the ability to vary parameters based on the size of the input geometry. This is very important in some filters such as the streamlines filter. 5
Readers/filters The backbone of ParaView needs to be tight. 5
Annotation Much of the annotation abilities in ParaView 2 are missing in ParaView 3 (corner annotation, turninging off axis annotation, annotation with time value) and some new features (labels on specific cells). 5
Pipeline browser Already our pipeline browser is much better than its predecessor. However, there still some improvements to go. Of special importance are feature gaps like handling multiple inputs. 5
GUI cleanup Make the GUI look nice, usable, and information rich. The parameter panels in the object inspector are of particular importance. The display tab also needs work. The spacing of toolbar icons can also be corrected. 5

Volume rendering GUI Reimplement the ParaView 2 transfer function editors. 4
Custom filters/lookmarks Lots of old features, lots of new features. 4
Linking Add GUI to link server manager proxy objects (such as camera view and pipeline object parameters). 4
Client side delivery Deliver data to client side with built in aggregation. 4
Icons 'Knuff said. 4
Testing Testing, testing, and more testing. 4
