= Ideas =

== Packaging ==

 * Create RPMs/debs for Debian/Redhat/Ubuntu/etc for _all_ necessary prereqs in 1.0
 * Clean up CentOS/Suse spec files
 * update Solaris packaging tech

== Documentation Updates ==

 * 0.9.6 to 1.0 complete migration guide
 * Elaborate a little more on new SSL authentication options
 * bcfg2-info docs and possibly indepth howto for developers
 * migrate some of the user documentation over to http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/BCFG2
 * how-to for using bcfg2-info to debug

== Features ==
 * Packages support for zypper
 * Packages support for gentoo (if necessary)
 * Packages support for opensolaris IPS
 * Improve plugin loading mechanism (to make out of tree plugins easy)
   * Maybe also improve plugin running mechanism (to enable user to control run order of plugins, run certain files that use a plugin before another plugin but others after it, etc - plausible use cases: template clients.xml and have it update before anything else runs; run the same probe before and after an action that verifies appropriate change was made by that action)
 * Snapshots web interface

== Tickets ==

 * #622 (what to do about missing configuration files)
 * #644 (generate user-friendly xml when server edits clients.xml)
 * #645 (default attributes for Package elements)
 * #665 (Update on-wiki man pages for Bcfg2 1.0)
 * #682 (clearer SSL error messages)
 * #683 (graphviz on CentOS)
 * #686 (SSHBase traceback)

== Done ==
 * Ohai plugin
 * showclient updates
 * Better GroupPattern example
 * #690 (paranoid mode enhancements)
 * bcfg2-info - implement new showclient that properly displays connector additional data
