+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)
 ----------------------------
-Add support to compose a reply to the current messaage.
+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.
 
-Selectively hide headers and bodies in notmuch-show mode.  (for
-example, for read messages).
+Portability
+-----------
+Fix configure script to test each compiler warning we want to use.
 
-Remove "unread" tag from messages as they are read.
+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
 -------------------------
-Make "notmuch setup" not index all messages, but only what it can do
-in a reasonable amount of time, (then add "notmuch index" so the user
-can complete the job when convenient).
+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

 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
