-Back-compat investigation:
+# Known Bugs:
 
-  - Get engines tested:
-    - Catalyst-Engine-HTTP-Prefork
+   - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs called
+     twice when called via ->go or ->visit.
 
-Known issues:
+     Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-go_chain/tree/master
 
-     - Catalyst-Log-Log4perl Deep recursion on subroutine "MockApp::setup" due
-       to Adopt::NEXT not remembering which setup methods were already called
-       and which not, like NEXT does. Log::Log4perl needs to be fixed and the
-       problem should be described in Upgrading.pod. (rafl)
+# Compatibility warnings to add:
 
-     - CatalystX-CRUD and CatalystX-CRUD-ModelAdapter-DBIC
-       fail tests against 5.80 (karpet)
+  - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
+    class method (TESTS).
 
-     - Waiting on new releases:
-       - Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication - 0.100092
-       - Catalyst::Action::RenderView     - 0.08
-       - Catalyst::Plugin::DebugCookie    - 0.999002
+# Proposed functionality / feature additions:
 
-Documentation:
+## Log setup needs to be less lame
 
-   - Manual / Tutorial updates
+So Catalyst::Plugin::Log::* can die
+in a fire. Having $c->log_class would be a good start. kane volunteered
+to do some of this.
 
-       - extends in components with attributes must be inside a BEGIN block.
+Simple example: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Colorful should just be a
+subclass of Catalyst::Log, no ::Plugin:: needed.
 
-       - How to write Moosified Catalyst components.

+# REFACTORING
 
-Profiling:
+##  The horrible hack for plugin setup - replacing it:
 
-  - vs 5.70 and optimisation as needed.
+ * Have a look at the Devel::REPL BEFORE_PLUGIN stuff
+   I wonder if what we need is that combined with plugins-as-roles
+
+## App / ctx split:
+
+  NOTE - these are notes that t0m thought up after doing back compat for
+         catalyst_component_class, may be inaccurate, wrong or missing things
+         bug mst (at least) to correct before trying more than the first 2
+         steps. Please knock yourself out on the first two however :)
+
+  - Eliminate actions in MyApp from the main test suite
+  - Uncomment warning in C::C::register_action_methods, add tests it works
+    by mocking out the logging..
+  - Remove MyApp @ISA controller (ask metaclass if it has attributes, and if
+                                  so you need back compat :/)
+  - Make Catalyst::Context, move the per request stuff in there, handles from
+    main app class to delegate
+  - Make an instance of the app class which is a global variable
+  - Make new instance of the context class, not the app class per-request
+  - Remove the components as class data, move to instance data on the app
+    class (you probably have to do this for _all_ the class data, good luck!)
+  - Make it possible for users to spin up different instances of the app class
+    (with different config etc each)
+  - Profit! (Things like changing the complete app config per vhost, i.e.
+    writing a config loader / app class role which dispatches per vhost to
+    differently configured apps is piss easy)
+
+## GSOC
+
+### Next large steps:
+
+  - Moving setup_components etc into the container
+
+    - This is so that you can just load the container and get models etc from it,
+      without loading Catalyst.
+
+  - Allowing people to change component lifecycles
+
+    - This is done by being able to use an alternate Service class..
+
+      I.E. We currently force everything to do Catalyst/IOC/Service/WithAcceptContext.pm, but
+      things without an ACCEPT_CONTEXT could just not bother, and it would be nice to have
+      one that cached the object in request scope (i.e. Catalyst::Component::InstancePerContext)
+      etc.
+
+      However we need to work out an interface for people to setup / configure this.
+
+### To polish off
+
+  - Document current methods
+  - +    $class->container->get_sub_container('model')->make_single_default;
++    $class->container->get_sub_container('view')->make_single_default;
