Progress and Next Steps

Items to be discussed: (please add anything that you would like us to consider)

Update to Python3
Migrate documentation to ReadTheDocs
Widgets rework (point list, curve, angle, plane)
Mouse modes (make it easier to define new mouse modes and switch between them; e.g., put window width/level setting in a separate mouse mode, add more built-in mouse modes, ...)
Built-in 4D data support (Sequences extension)
Move towards LPS coordinate system (at least change default read/write format for all nodes)
Internationalization
Switch to unicode
Scene views rework: make simpler and more robust
Lightbox view: can we remove?
Make Slicer core smaller: are there still components that can be moved out to extensions?
