Tracking issue for future wishlist - good ideas - maybes (?)

[MridulS]

@networkx/core-developers feel free to add more things to the list below.

---

We have had a bunch of great ideas over the last ~20 years from a lot of networkx contributors! A bunch of those PRs unfortunately are too out of date and gone stale due to limited reviewer bandwidth. This is an evolving tracking issue just to keep some of these things noted down here. If these ideas do become flushed out, let's move it to the roadmap. If the change requires much more discussion we should open a NXEP. Let's only move to implementation once we know that it would be reviewed :)

New base classes:

• Planar graph base class: there is an attempt in Adds planar graph class #1701

I/O formats:

• UCINET DL: implementation in Read/write/generate a basic graph using UCINET DL format #2052

@MridulS Perhaps we can add knotty centrality (#10 and more recently #6475) as a new algorithm worth implementing.

Having the naive implementation you mention in #10 and some tests to compare against it would likely make it easier for people to work on this should they wish to do so.

It would also be nice to push your fix the recursion error to main...MridulS:networkx:knotty_cent_review, together with any additional changes you might have made in the meantime.

Also pinging @ManasviEmmadi and @swederik, since they worked on this and might have additional context, and @boothby who put some effort into reviewing.
