-         instance dir: cleanup to support config
-         feature request #498658
-pending  meta/parent bug support/implementation
-         feature request #506815
-pending  user preferences
-         feature request #507842
-pending  rename to "instance" to "tracker"

-                  feature request #568714
-pending  alternative user auth: at least an LDAP implementation
-active   security overhaul: see doc/security.txt (RJ)
-done     - switch to sessions for web authentication
-         - implement and use the new logical control mechanisms
-         - authenticate over a secure connection
-         - use digital signatures in mailgw
-active   implement an RDB backend (RJ)
-done     - further split the *dbm backends from the core code, allowing
-           easier non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
-         - write a backend for gadfly
-pending  fix double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
-pending  split instance.open() into open() and login()
-pending  range searching of values (dates in particular)
+pending  example: meta/parent bug implementation (feature request #506815)
+pending  hyperdb: write a backend for gadfly
+pending  hyperdb: range searching of values (dates in particular)
          - filter specifies {property: (comparison function, value)}
-           comparison functions: lt, le, eq, ge, gt
-         - eq and [value, value, ...] implies "in"
-pending  switch to a Roundup instance for Roundup bug/feature tracking
-pending  I18N of web interface
-pending  Better web message summary display
-         feature request #520244
-pending  Allow commands through mail gateway
-         feature request #556996
-pending  better help message for mailgw
-         feature request #558562
-pending  Navigating around the issues
-         feature request #559149
-pending  Allow multiple email addresses at one mailgw, with different default
-         classes and property values (possibly through command-line args to
-         the mailgw as invoked in the mail delivery "aliases" file) eg:
-           roundup: "|/roundup/bin/roundup-mailgw /roundup/instances/dev"
-           vmbugs: "|/roundup/bin/roundup-mailgw /roundup/instances/dev component=voicemail"
-pending  Quick help links on web interface next to the property labels giving
-         a description of the property. Combine with help for the actual form
-         element too, eg. how to use the nosy list edit box.
