-Write a "notmuch show" that displays a single thread.
+Fix the things that are causing the most pain to new users
+----------------------------------------------------------
+1. A new import is tagging all messages as "inbox" -- total pain
+
+2. Allow an easy way to get tags from directory names (if the user has them)
+
+3. Allow an easy way to remove excess tags, (date-based search)
+
+4. Make emacs fast for big search results (see "lazy searching" below)
+
+5. Fix Xapian defect #250 so tagging is fast.
+
+Emacs interface (notmuch.el)
+----------------------------
+Make the keybindings help ('?') display the summary of each command's
+documentation, not the function name.
+
+Add a global keybinding table for notmuch, and then view-specific
+tables that add to it.
+
+Add a command to archive all threads in a search view.
+
+Lazy searching: call "notmuch search" with --first and --max to fill
+just a screenful of results, and then fill in more as ther user pages
+through the buffer.
+
+Add a '|' binding from the search view.
+
+Add a binding to run a search from notmuch-show-mode.
+
+When a thread has been entirely read, start out by closing all
+messages except those that matched the search terms.
+
+Portability
+-----------
+Fix configure script to test each compiler warning we want to use.
+
+Implement strndup locally (or call talloc_strndup instead).
+
+Implement getline locally, (look at gnulib).
+
+Completion
+----------
+Fix bash completion to complete multiple search options (both --first
+and *then* --max-threads), and also complete value for --sort=
+(oldest-first or newest-first).
+
+notmuch command-line tool
+-------------------------
+Teach "notmuch search" to return many different kinds of results. Some
+ideas:
+
+	notmuch search --for threads	# Default if no --for is given
+	notmuch search --for messages
+	notmuch search --for tags
+	notmuch search --for addresses
+	notmuch search --for terms
+
+Add a "--format" option to "notmuch search", (something printf-like
+for selecting what gets printed).
+
+Add a "--count-only" (or so?) option to "notmuch search" for returning
+the count of search results.
+
+Give "notmuch restore" some progress indicator. Until we get the
+Xapian bugs fixed that are making this operation slow, we really need
+to let the user know that things are still moving.
+
+Fix notmuch.c to call add_timestamp/get_timestamp with path names
+relative to the database path. (Otherwise, moving the database to a
+new directory will result in notmuch creating new timestamp documents
+and leaving stale ones behind.)
+
+Ensure that "notmuch new" is sane if its first, giant indexing session
+gets interrupted, (that is, ensure that any results indexed so far are
+flushed).
+
+Fix notmuch.c to use a DIR prefix for directory timestamps, (the idea
+being that it can then add other non-directory timestamps such as for
+noting how far back in the past mail has been indexed, and whether it
+needs to re-tag messages based on a theoretical "auto-tags"
+configuration file).
+
+Make "notmuch new" notice when a mail directory has gone more than a
+month without receiving new mail and use that to trigger the printing
+of the note that the user might want to mark the directory read-only.
+
+Also make "notmuch new" optionally able to just mark those month-old
+directories read-only on its own. (Could conflict with low-volume
+lists such as announce lists if they are setup to deliver to their own
+maildirs.)
+
+notmuch library
+---------------
+Add support for files that are moved or deleted (which obviously need
+to be handled differently).
+
+Actually compile and install a libnotmuch shared library.
 
 Fix to use the *last* Message-ID header if multiple such headers are
 encountered, (I noticed this is one thing that kept me from seeing the
 same message-ID values as sup).
+
+Add support for the user to specify custom headers to be indexed.
+
+Add support for automatic tagging of new messages based on particular
+search criteria, (likely using an InMemory database for the new
+messages).
+
+General
+-------
+Audit everything for dealing with out-of-memory (and drop xutil.c).
+
+Write a test suite.
+
+Achieve 100% test coverage with the test suite.
+
+Investigate why the notmuch database is slightly larger than the sup
+database for the same corpus of email.
