The 4 categories give a rough time as to when a task should be done,
and reflect an assessment of the task's ease multiplied by its importance.
<H2>Category 1</H2>
<pre>
SCN - Lightweight edge labels in dot
+SCN - Treemaps
JCE - Extend attribute set for line styles
+JCE - Allow arrowheads in the middle of edges
+JCE - Support single, uniform font descriptors à la pango
ERG - Variable port depending on layout
ERG - Better aspect ratio in dot
ERG - New text labels with font elements <B>, <I>, <TT>, etc. (support via fontconfig or egregious hacks)
ERG - New orthogonal routing code
AB - Create Graph editor for Topview/Graphviz with OpenGL and GTK. (smyrna - in process) (Deprecate use of lefty)
YH/ERG - Clusters in sfdp

<H2>Category 2</H2>
- symmetrize layouts
- Ulrik's improvements with network simplex
JCE - Shapes
- - new parallelogram shape where angle is fixed for varying text
- - SVG grammar or other grammar to specify node and arrow shapes
- - user-defined nodes in all code generators
-ERG - Orthogonal layouts.
+ - SVG grammar or other grammar to specify node and arrow shapes
+ - user-defined nodes in all code generators
YH/ERG - additional graph packing strategies
? - Filters for GraphML, Matrix Market and Chaco formats.
+? - Library for bundled edges (Given two sets of nodes, with positions,
+forming a bipartite graph, return splines to bundle the edges together)
