-1) exec/totempg.c in check_q_level()
-   Remove hardcoded values.
-   Chat to Steve about correcting the queue length calculation.
-
-2) check max message size restrictions.
-
-3) is this https://github.com/asalkeld/libqb/issues/1 still an issue?
-
-4) remove "old" stuff from the man pages (logging/IPC).
-
-5) new blackbox size might be too small (exec/logsys.c:311)

 We use topic branches in our git repository to develop new disruptive features
 that define our future roadmap.  This file describes the topic branches
 the developers have interest in investigating further.

+Currently confdb is very difficult to use.  We use this component for
+our diagnostic feature set as well as storing our runtime configuration.  A
+map is a better choice for a data structure here.  Current thinking is to

+Test suites and users alike would like to configure the software via XML
+configuration.  Current thinking is we will implement a separate binary which
+converts xml to native config format via XSLT.  This keeps libxml out of the 
+corosync process address space.  During startup, corosync could either fork
+and exec this process, or it could be part of the system startup mechanism.
