They want to make Roam very programmable. From easy to advanced, to simple extensions and more. Hope for lots of devs using Roam Depot in future.
Future of creators in Roam: very important that people can build off other peoples graphs. Multi-player, many contributing & sharing. Lower barrier to create very large content databases (even without a lot of tech knowledge). Want them to be build businesses of their work. 
ETA for API Access? The v2 api is already being tested against new backend. Working on stability. Must be solid. New backend is what makes mobile apps real.
CSS changes: good progress, but lots of changes to front-end. Using BEM framework. Conor is super excited about this.

@abhay drops the NER bomb. How to make it with less friction. Not currently a priority, but on the radar (important).
Scholarship fellowship: informally managed, currently due to bringing in more admin help (7 employees, 11 outside people).

How to reorganize the internet: @Conaw inspired by wiki (Mr. Ward). Vision all people have their personal graph, and a public. Make it easy to find others. Humans are better than AI. Need a decentralized graph of graphs so humans can build of each other.
Lot of challenge is related to UI. How to make some of these new and complex concepts accessible. Balance between design and engineering.
Eventually will be encrypted pages and sub-graphs

Connections between graphs? Github is heavily used, but has shortcomings. Wants Roam to have similar benefits but done better (cross-graph & versioning)
Company is incredibly intellectual not as credentialed.

Inline references - filtering support in the future. Open to UI suggestions how to make this happen. Design bottleneck. Currenly: Shift-click the number for inline refs to get a filter in sidebar.
Vision for drawing: want to make it composable as with other things. Stitch things together, cut things out and make them referencable. They shipped a simple version to get started. Have something useful now, perfect it later.
When will be able to add more graphs to accounts? In the future :-)
Who needs Roam? Richard Hickey, more from Clojure community, those developing curriculum, .... wants everyone.

Do they have any community plugins that don't exist yet? They want to make it really easy to extend. provide cool tools (perhaps like GoJS - interactive diagramming).
Inline Clojure is coming.
Possible one day to use Roam as your database for your own custom apps

Perfect Web Clipper for Roam? Whole browser tab, auto grabbing pages you visit. Basically a Chrome extension hooked into Roam all the time, providing insight & context as you move around the web.
For plugins, love those that deal with YouTube, Music.
Interesting uses of Roam: people developing relationships, Roam pairings, team meetings for writing.
All cool new features available in 6 months :-) Kind of a running joke.
