You should join us on IRC ([#kibana](https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/?#kibana) on freenode) and chat about it. Github is terrible for conversations. With that out of the way, there are a number of variables that go into deciding what to work on. These include priority, impact, difficulty, applicability to use cases, and last, and importantly: What we feel like working on.
