It's been requested several times previously, but including some capacity to control the transparency in graphs (e.g., an option for alpha blending). Adding some documentation to help end-users develop new graph commands more easily would also be incredibly helpful (Sergey R. presented on this topic and the Beamer slides can be found easily via google).

Re: John,
I'm not in the best Internet browsing situation at the moment, but I had read a post where either Cameron McIntosh or Stas Kolenikov suggested that the ADF estimator is equivalent to the WLS estimator in Mplus. 

If nothing else I think speeding up some of the -xt- commands would be pretty awesome (e.g., xtmelogit, xtmepoisson, etc...). Another previously mentioned suggestion was to help make it easier for users to integrate Stata with other scripting and/or programming languages (i.e., python).

Since the documentation is prepared in LaTeX, maybe an electronic copy in a format other than PDF would be helpful as well.

Just my $ 0.02,
Billy
