One important thing to think about then would be improving the usability of 
importers/exporters. It would be great if you could just File->Open, or 
File->Import, find your file, and have the format guessed automatically based 
on file extension by default (with also a menu to override the auto-guessing).

Having to choose the name of the format in advance can be error prone, and it 
would be nice  to not have to worry about what the format is - someone sends 
you a file, and you just just click on it, you don't have to know whether it's 
a Wavefront or a LightWave Object or whatever. Bonus points for being able to 
import multiple files at the same time, of different formats, etc. -  could 
save some time.

cheers
