I've gone through the open issues, and sorted them into the following categories. The first five categories are for issues that, IMO, represent significant usability concerns and block a 3.3 release:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1) Improved Narrative Docs and Cookbook Recipes: Issues <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1110/experimental-vr-camera-movement-recipe" class="">1110</a>, <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1112/experimental-document-how-to-use-the-get_" class="">1112</a>, <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1128/experimental-describe-using-the-__repr__" class="">1128</a></div><div class="">2) Transfer Function Usability Issues: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1098/experimental-enhanced-documentation-on" class="">1098</a>, <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1104/experimental-transfer-functions-move-from" class="">1104</a></div><div class="">3) Alpha Issues with Render Sources: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1133/experimental-alpha-seems-not-to-get" class="">1129</a>, <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1133/experimental-alpha-seems-not-to-get" class="">1133</a></div><div class="">4) Units Issue with the Camera: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1132/experimental-camerawidth-is-currently" class="">1132</a></div><div class="">5) Manual Use of the Off-Axis Projection transfer function: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1103/experimental-render-with" class="">1103</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">There are a few categories of issues that, while they would certainly be nice to include, do not IMO *need* to be included in 3.3. These are:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1) Camera Path stuff: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1115/experimental-add-in-keyframes-for-making" class="">1115</a>, <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1116/experimental-making-vr-work-with" class="">1116</a>,</div><div class="">2) new VR annotations for lines and rays: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1126/experimental-add-annotate_ray-and" class="">1126</a></div><div class="">3) Speed up the Perspective Lens and make it the default in the docs. <a href="https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1121/experimental-speed-up-perspectivecamera" class="">1121</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you disagree with any of these classifications, or if I've left something out, please let me know. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Some time in the coming weeks, I think it would be good to dedicate a few person-days of effort to a mini-sprint to finish these issues off. I'd be game for such an effort myself, and I know that Nathan mentioned at the hangout that he'd be willing to help, too. If anyone else would like to contribute, please let me know be responding to this email. We can decide on a precise set of dates later. Of course, there's no reason we have to wait for the sprint to start crossing these off, but in practice having a dedicated block of time set aside always helps.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Andrew</div></div>
