Next Generation Modeling (was RE: [Bf-committers] Edge Loop Selection in Meshes)

I've had a chance to both ponder my edge loop selection approach and finally
get to play with Wings.  Now that I have done so, I am pretty much on board
with trying the winged edge suggestion.  However, rather than proceed
haphazardly along a randomly chosen path, I wonder if this might be a good
time for a discussion about where Blender's modeling capabilities should be
heading.  From that, we could create a road map of sorts that will hopefully
guide development along a semi-predictable path.  I think this should
include a description of some typical workflows that different kinds of
users might adopt.

I'm willing to take a stab at writing up a strawman if I had some confidence
that anyone would read it and care.

BTW - I think that this is orthogonal to the Next Generation Blender being
discussed on the blender.org site.

Yes, I'm still interested, thanks for the reply.

I think I will proceed with my original plan as it should get me familiar
with a nice slice of blender functionality.  However, I will immediately
follow on with a tour through Wings and see what of that functionality I can
bring to Blender.
