Hi,

I am opening a discussion thread for roadmap towards next release to everyone. Specifically, we are looking for:

• New features that are useful to your research and projects
• Improvements and patches to existing features

If you have any item that you'd like to propose to have in the roadmap, please do:

• Comment in this issue: 1) the above issue number, 2) one sentence of what the item is about and why it's useful to you.
• Indication on whether you'd be willing to help out on the item.

Projects

• Video applications
  • Action Recognition, phase I: High-perf Video Loader for training (https://github.com/zhreshold/decord)

• Better TVM integration (https://github.com/dmlc/tvm/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=gluoncv)

Models

• Alphapose (reference: https://github.com/MVIG-SJTU/AlphaPose/tree/mxnet)
