 :mod:`repoze.bfg` TODOs
 =======================
 
+Must-Have (before 1.0)
+----------------------
+
+- Test on GAE, Jython, PyPy, IronPython.
+
+- Add docs for httpexceptions module for each webob.exc class that inherits
+  from WSGIHTTPException.
+
+- Add a ``handler`` ZCML directive.  This implies some slightly dicey
+  refactoring of the configurator to allow it to generate ZCML
+  "discriminators" for views and routes.
+
+- Provide a .flash API on session object.
+
+- Make default renderer work (renderer registered with no name, which is
+  active for every view unless the view names a specific renderer).
+
+- Use ``@register_view`` instead of ``@view_config`` and change view docs to
+  use "view registration" instead of "view configuration".
+
+- Remove calls to config.begin()/config.end() from startup config code in
+  tutorials and paster templates (no longer required).
+
+- SQLAlchemy idiomatics:
+
+   <RaFromBRC> mcdonc: those paster templates all look pretty good... the
+   only thing i'd consider is adjusting your config variable names to match
+   exactly what sqlalchemy uses as parameter names, see here:
+   http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/engines.html
+
+   <RaFromBRC> mcdonc: especially in the pylons_sqla ini file, where the db
+   initialization is mixed in w/ the app config...
+
+   <RaFromBRC> ... i'd use "sqlalchemy.PARAMETER" for all of the sqla
+   settings, so it could easily be handed to engine_from_config w/o any need
+   to parse by hand
+
+   <RaFromBRC> mcdonc: in the other ini files, where sqlalchemy is given its
+   own part, the "sqlalchemy." prefix probably isn't necessary, but matching
+   the parameter names (e.g. 'url' instead of 'db_string') is still probably
+   a good idea
+
+- Non-bwcompat use of threadlocals that need to be documented or ameliorated:
+
+  security.principals_allowed_by_permission
+
+  resource.OverrideProvider._get_overrides: can't credibly be removed,
+  because it stores an overrideprovider as a module-scope global.
+
+  traversal.traverse: this API is a stepchild, and needs to be changed.
+
+  Configurator.add_translation_dirs: not passed any context but a message,
+  can't credibly be removed.
+
+- Better ``config.add_handler`` documentation.
+
+Should-Have
+-----------
+
+- Create a ``docs`` directory for each paster template.
+
+- Remove "BFG" from Pyramid-specific environ variables.
+
+- translationdir ZCML directive use of ``path_spec`` should maybe die.
+
+- Add CRSF token creation/checking machinery (only "should have" vs. "must
+  have" because I'm not sure it belongs in Pyramid.. it definitely must exist
+  in formgen libraries, and *might* belong in Pyramid).
+
+- Change "Cleaning up After a Request" in the urldispatch chapter to
+  use ``request.add_response_callback``.
+
+Nice-to-Have
+------------
+
 - Supply ``X-Vhm-Host`` support.
 
 - Basic WSGI documentation (pipeline / app / server).
