[Bf-committers] Pataz Studio's Gooseberry Wishlist

[Daniel Salazar - patazstudio.com]

IMO Any project specific workflow helper should be an add-on or a
patch, but I don't see any in my wishlist. In a sense our production
hacks just become initial proofs of concept of things to further
develop later. One example is my AnimAll addon, I would love to see it
die any day in favor of more integrated tools.
