 The main theme of the sprint is: "Making ol3 more user friendly". Topics to focus on include documentation, build process and API.

+Ideas from Bart:
+
 * Support for time animations for tiled layers (https://github.com/openlayers/ol3/pull/2950)
+
+Ideas from Éric:
+
+* Attempt to improve the performance of tile layers by drawing tiles directly to the output canvas instead of using an intermediary canvas/framebuffer.
+* Start working on WebGL support for lines, polygons and texts.
+* For better performance use the "Immediate" API rather than the "Replay" for drawing features.
+* Continue the "tilted view" work that I started a while back.
+* Automated tests for the renderers output (https://github.com/openlayers/ol3/issues/2923).
+* User API for layer pixel/color manipulation (see Tile Image recoloring thread on the mailing list). User-provided shaders is something I'm interested in.
+* See if we can improve the performance of WebGL point by doing more stuff on the GPU.
+* Simplify/clarify our build setup, possibly by moving code from `serve.js` and `build.js` to closure-util. This will also allow for more sharing across closure-util based projects.
+* Vector tiles. Draw vector tiles without artifacts at tile boundaries with stroked polygons.
+* Binary formats for efficiently transporting large amount of vector data.
+* Improvements to the cluster source. In part. there currently is no animation, and I think this is lacking.
+* Make the API doc nicer and more convenient.
