    - derandomized foils analysis
    - have/view reason student selected a foil
    - resource quality, how good is a resource

    - email gateways into/out of the system
    - handle more types of communication
          - messages seeded with data from spreadsheet

          - "round robin" feedback handling
                  - "mailing lists"
   
   - Grading
    - simple grading needs cleaning up (see Guy's TODO list)

     this)
    - essay / shortanswer
    - instructor / autoget all/none
    - team based submission
    - peer graded
    - peer suggest grade
   
   - homework engine

    - CAPA problems 
    - <imageresponse> need Java applet
   
   - Exams
   
   - RAT
    - choose parts
    - set conditions
    - language for conditions
    - some kind of non-anti-save
   
   - Publish
