Topic Suggestions

Add suggestions here, we can then put them on the agenda.

Deprecating Components

  • Policy for deprecating code: with changes to Panels and others, we have lot of dead/uncovered/sparing used code. How to deal with it?
  • What happens to components like Prism which are not being actively ported to new style?
  • How about discarding old panels that don't seem to be used as much e.g. Statistics Inspector

Simplifying Plots

  • Making Plots "editable" by interacting in the View rather than having to go to the "View Settings" page.

Parallel STL/CSV Writers

  • Improve parallel STL CSV writing so that you don't need to collect everything on process 0 (all at once).
    • Sounds crazy, but we have a use case to get data in professional graphics tools.
