Design task to coordinate the Render & Cycles projects. This is a curated list of items agreed on by module owners.
Important links:
Order of importance:
- Very Important - These we should handle before the next release.
- Somewhat Important - These issues would be nice to do as soon as possible
- Less Important - Extra polish, nice to have
- ? Incomplete - Tasks needing more details before implementing.
