Hi,

We will be having our weekly hangout at 10:00 AM EST.

Since we will have the project week call at 10:30 AM (details [here](https://public.kitware.com/pipermail/na-mic-project-week/2018-December/000343.html)), this call will last only 30mins.

Anyone is welcome to join to ask questions at [https://bit.ly/slicer-googlemeet-hosted-by-kitware](https://bit.ly/slicer-googlemeet-hosted-by-kitware)

Thanks  
Sam

We moved the Slicer 5 roadmap page to the Labs page, there is no a roadmap section. See [https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Labs#Roadmap](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Labs#Roadmap)

We discussed how the UI and UX could be improved. Here is a very short list, we should probably create a poll or conduct a user study …

- Create two different applications ? Or have theme like Blender ? Simple vs Advanced
- Collect specific list of UI issues:
  - user can not find the eye icon in volume rendering
  - 

- Display volume in 3D by default
- Free “real estate” by hiding (or relocating) the Slicer icon ?
