I've been trying to sift through Avogadro v2 and trying to determine what needs 
polish and what are missing features needed for a release.

I'd like to outline things that I think are critical versus "nice to have, but 
could wait for 2.1"

Thoughts? Concerns? Something I've missed?

Critical:
- Selection Tool / Extension
 .. requires a concept of a selection (e.g., in the widget)

- Properties
.. atom, bond, angle, torsion
.. including editing properties (and saving to text files)

- insert fragments
.. molecules, DNA, peptide
.. integration with MongoChem for molecules & crystals?

- Rendering features
.. labels, hydrogen bond, forces, dipole, stick, etc.

- Constraints / AutoOptimize
.. there are ways to handle the optimization, but freezing / constraints are 
needed
.. could include symmetry constraints (e.g., libmsym)


Nice to Have:
- Visual Cues / Eyecandy

- Fragments / residue support
.. rendering cartoons, ribbons, etc.

- Spectra / Orbital panels

- Nanotube builder

- Nanoparticle builder

- Centroids (center of atoms, center of mass)

- Zero order bonds
