+Large Chunks of funtionality that need work:
+============================================
+
+- Statistics
+	- Simple
+		- resource analysis class/system wide
+		- resource correlation course wide
+		- other stats from CAPA
+	- Complex
+		- foil level analysis/correlation measures
+		- derandomized foils analysis
+		- have/view reason student selected a foil
+	- resource quality, how good is a resource
+
+- Messaging
+	- email gateways into/out of the system
+	- handle more types of communication
+	       - messages seeded with data from spreadsheet
+	       - chat / whiteboard
+	       - "round robin" feedback handling
+               - "mailing lists"
+
+- Grading
+	- simple grading needs cleaning up (see Guy's TODO list)
+	- survey data extraction ( stat complex could handle most of
+	  this)
+	- essay / shortanswer
+		- instructor / autoget all/none
+		- team based submission
+		- peer graded
+		- peer suggest grade
+
+- homework engine
+	- math stuff
+	- CAPA problems 
+	- <imageresponse> need Java applet
+
+- Exams
+
+- RAT
+	- choose parts
+	- set conditions
+	- language for conditions
+	- some kind of non-anti-save
+
+- Publish
+	- review step
+	- co-author locking
+	- auto thumbnail / convert images
+
+- printing
+	- tex target (CGI / daemon?)
+
