Thanks a ton, to have looked at that. This todo list I believe belongs
to the older OGV that was written in PHP but it is general enough to
be used on current version.

I am not sure what it meant then, @harman can speak more on this.
Current list is at http://brlcad.org/wiki/OGV. This list may not be
very ambitious but it has it reasons to be small and precise and that
is I would really like OGV to be a good working, production ready
viewer first. I believe that @sean would agree that it's better to
have few features working than a ton of incomplete and sub-standard
features. We are still struggling to get basic things like upload, and
conversion right and production ready so once we have perfected for
ourselves a little app that can just view 3D solid models online in an
acceptable manner would be much better.

Making such an app would include:-
* Optimizing the uploading process (there are 2 copies of each obj
file in the system) and they have to be moved from one place to
another.
* Be able to search through and selectively show/hide OBJ models.
* Support more file formats.
* Get more info from the model (colors etc.) and show it.
* Ask for default account's username and password at first run
(currently it's hard-coded).
* A user must be able to follow other users and see their posts on
it's feed. Currently all models are broadcasted to everyone. Currently
it works like a 3D model blogging system, this feature would bend it
towards more of a social platform it was intended to be.
* Get thumbnails from the model, it's all rendered on canvas so we can
take a snapshot and use it as a default thumbnail for model if user
doesn't uploads any.
* Carefully Show the errors and messages from console to the user
while uploading/conversion is being done.

(most of them are at to do list of OGV - Meteor)
