I'm personally hoping for one of the (many) octave visualization projects 
to take off so that we no longer depend on gnuplot for the easy to use 
(read built-in) plotting functions.

One thing that I'd somewhat like to have is a consolidated reference for 
all the plotting systems that are being developed; something perhaps 
listing the plotting functions that we'd like to implement from matlab and 
for ourselves and the status of each project with each of those functions. 
Perhaps include general themes (like handle graphics) on the list.

I know it's been discussed on the lists several times and that we get 
announcements of various feature changes/releases, but I prefer to have a 
concise reference in one place.  Might this be something we could put on 
the octave wiki?

On a somewhat related note, are there any implementations of SVG graphics 
for octave?
