I'd add to this list * lightfields integrating well with other shaders. For example, I know that the random vegetation doesn't work with lightfield shaders, and the fix that Emilian put together to allow the random buildings to work was a workaround rather than a full fix. I think this is probably something you and I will need to work on together to fix. > * a redesign of the weather interfaces, basically going to the unified > weather system people have been talking about - some ideas and brainstorming > urgently needed!
