Description

This was previously part of the [older roadmap on the wiki](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/wiki/Roadmap). I moved the items here without changing them. They are a few years old.

When someone more familiar with these has time, can you please update this and perhaps split into separate CZML and Widgets roadmaps? Not a high priority.

* CZML
* [CZML External links](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/wiki/External-links)
* GeoServer CZML writer
* [CZML Path/History visualization](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/wiki/CZML-History-visualization-details)
* Z-ordering - [czml-writer issue](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/czml-writer/issues/20)
* Buffer availability and "buffering" behavior
* Layers
* Improved materials support
* Custom axes & reference frames
* Imagery and terrain sources
* Camera/Tours
* Arbitrary link support (# and $ in CZML spec)
* CZML defined user interfaces, possibly with markdown
* Model support, once Cesium support exists
* Human readable messages/events raised in CZML
* Widgets
* Data Source Browser widget ([branch](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/compare/master...dataSourceBrowser))
* Navigation widget.
* Improved TimeLine widget
* Standard Cesium toolbar

Research direction

Review the older wiki roadmap, the linked CZML External links and CZML History visualization pages, the czml-writer z-ordering issue, and the Data Source Browser comparison branch. Separate the listed CZML and Widgets items into current roadmaps, verify which remain relevant, and document the updated priorities and scope.
