-Define structure of the data returned by parsers:
-  o Producers need to know what to expect
-  o For testing purposes, we need to know if parsers are returning
-    something reasonable
+*   The regular Sybase parser is only just functional.  If you are
+    interested in using Sybase, I would suggest serializing the schema
+    (via YAML or Storable) using the DBI-Sybase parser and then
+    manipulating that as you see fit. 
 
-Modules to be written/finished
-    SQL::Translator::Validator
-    SQL::Translator::Parser::xSV
-    SQL::Translator::Producer::MySQL
+*   Add more DBI parsers!  These have the potential to be very
+    thorough and far faster than parsing text files with
+    Parse::RecDescent.
 
+*   At least allow more pass-through of INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE
+    statements
+
+*   Add INSERT statements for xSV, Excel parsers to automatically
+    create INSERTs for each row of data in the source file
+
+*   Somehow merge ClassDBI producer with CGI::FormBuilder or Template
+    Toolkit and some sort of automated CGI builder to create
+    view/create/edit/delete forms for objects based on schema defs
+
+*   Embetter the Diagram producer to use some real graphing algorithms
+    to distribute the tables so that the lines don't overlap so badly
+
+*   Integrate more with some standard XML schema representations,
+    maybe like Torque DB (http://db.apache.org/torque/).  We've
+    started messing around with XMI, too, but it isn't quite usable.
+
+*   Possibly write a basic ANSI-92 SQL parser which could be extended
+    when writing other new parsers.
+
+*   Make as many "required" modules as possible optional.  This will
+    require support in the Makefile, the tests, and the modules
+    themselves (they'll need to die gracefully if prerequisites are
+    not installed).
+
+*   Support for precompiled Parse::RecDescent grammars.
+
+*   More code generation producers, such as Java, PHP, and Python.
+
+*   Integrate Module::Pluggable as a replacement for the _list method.
