-* mailmap support (same as git) for remapping expired email addresses
+* general performance improvements, but without relying on
+  XS or compiled code any more than we currently do.
 
-* WWW: Hybrid flat view + thread skeleton (requires Xapian)
+* mailmap support (same as git) for remapping expired email addresses
 
 * POP3 server, since some webmail providers support external POP3:

+  Perhaps make this depend solely the NNTP server and work as a proxy.
+  Meaning users can run this without needing a full copy of the
+  archives in a git repository.
+
+* HTTP and NNTP proxy support.  Allow us to be a frontend for
+  firewalled off (or Tor-exclusive) instances.  The use case is
+  for offering a publically accessible IP with a cheap VPS,
+  yet storing large amounts of data on computers without a
+  public IP behind a home Internet connection.
 
 * TLS support for various daemons (including STARTTLS for NNTP and POP3)
 
-* Unix socket support for HTTP and POP3 server for use behind reverse
-  proxies like nginx
+* NNTP COMPRESS extension (see innd)
 
-* Combined "super server" for NNTP/HTTP/POP3 to reduce memory overhead
+* Support more of RFC 3977 (NNTP)
 
-* Optional reply-to-list support for mirroring lists that want it :<
-  Reply-to-list encourages the existing list as a single-point-of-failure,
-  but having an extra mirror using public-inbox.org is nice regardless.
+* Combined "super server" for NNTP/HTTP/POP3 to reduce memory overhead
 
 * Configurable linkification for per-inbox shorthands:

   the links should point to an anchor tag within the same page,
   instead; giving the user options.
 
-* implement RFC 4685 (Atom message threading)
-
 * configurable constants (index limits, search results)
 
-* use tags as date-based skiplists for navigating history
-  (maybe not needed with Xapian support nowadays?)
+* handle messages with multiple Message-IDs (done for v2, doable for v1)
+
+* handle broken double-bracketed References properly (maybe)
+  and totally broken Message-IDs
+
+  cf.  https://public-inbox.org/git/20160814012706.GA18784@starla/
+
+* improve documentation
 
-* handle Xapian date range queries:
-  http://mid.gmane.org/20151005222157.GE5880@survex.com
+* linkify thread skeletons better
+  https://public-inbox.org/git/6E3699DEA672430CAEA6DEFEDE6918F4@PhilipOakley/
+
+* streaming Email::MIME replacement: currently we generate many
+  allocations/strings for headers we never look at and slurp
+  entire message bodies into memory.
+  (this is pie-in-the-sky territory...)
 
 * use REQUEST_URI properly for CGI / mod_perl2 compatibility
   with Message-IDs which include '%' (done?)

+* more and better test cases (use git fast-import to speed up creation)
+
+* large mbox/Maildir/MH/NNTP spool import (see PublicInbox::Import)
+
+* Read-only WebDAV interface to the git repo so it can be mounted
+  via davfs2 or fusedav to avoid full clones.
+  davfs2 needs Range: request support for this to be feasible:
+    https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?33259
+    https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?107649
+
+* Contribute something like IMAP IDLE for "git fetch".
+  Inboxes (and any git repos) can be kept up-to-date without
+  relying on polling.
+
+* Expose targeted reindexing of individual messages.
+  Sometimes an indexing bug only affects a handful of messages,
+  so it's not worth the trouble of doing a full reindex.
+
+* code repository integration (with cgit, gitweb, etc...)
+
+* migration path to v2 without breaking v1 "git fetch" cronjobs
+
+* imperfect scraper importers for obfuscated list archives
+  (e.g. obfuscated Mailman stuff, Google Groups, etc...)
+
+* support hooks, since low-level git-fast-import does not run them
+  https://public-inbox.org/meta/20190405174329.GA21472@chatter.qube.local/
 
-* large mbox/Maildir/MH/NNTP spool import (use git fast-import)
+* investigate native grokmirror support/integration
