First, I love the Italian codenames, and it reinfoces my wish that I had had the opportunity to study Latin or Italian when younger.

Second, FreeCAD has just switched to a very sensible YY.<release_no> and if there should come a time that the versioning gets confusing enough to warrant a change, I would suggest that scheme for consideration.

Lastly, I am _very_ grateful for this implementation, which has made it possible for me to stop pestering the OpenSCAD devs for features which don't align with their vision, and am _very_ glad to have this new tool which does match up so well with what I want to do and how I wish to approach it.

Naturally, the future implementations are hashed out on Github by the devs, but a quick search for "pythonscad roadmap" doesn't come up with anything, and I'm too dense to navigate the Github pages and find a place suited to a general and public discussion of features, hence this missive.

I am _really_ looking forward to the GUI integration, and expect it to be a thing which really sets this tool apart from others in this space and to be a widely used mechanism for customization akin to how folks work in emacs w/ LISP macros.

I am curious which features the devs are working on, or want to work on, or which having been implemented feel are under-utilized (maybe advocate for them here?) or which have been used in surprising ways, and I believe it would be great to list other features which are being considered, and maybe even to enumerate those which have been considered and are off the table.

Hi William, glad you like our Baby 😁
We actually don't have such. Roadmap but you can watch the issues , pr's and which milestone we assigned them to. right now all of the main devs are "not available" for coding, but once I return to my computer I will push hard for the qt widgets.
Nomike does not know yet ; once the custom widgets are settled, we will hijack the Xxscad customizer. There is already an pr on GitHub.
Om any case: feel free to flood the issues page with feature requests. This might well Influence the order of development.
