-Known Bugs:
-   - Moose bug causes issues if you use Moose in your application, but want to
-     use base classes which have not been converted to Moose yet.
+# Known Bugs:
 
-     Tests in Moose for this are: http://tinyurl.com/c2k85c
-
-     Note: This issue _does not affect_ components which have been converted to
-           Moose, or applications which do not use Moose, and causes a 
-           compile-time error if present.
-
-   - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs caled
+   - Bug ->go or ->visit causes actions which have Args or CaptureArgs called
      twice when called via ->go or ->visit.
 
      Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-go_chain/tree/master
 
-   - Certain errors in your application to do with using other code which does
-     not exist can cause an 'Unknown error' issue.
+# Compatibility warnings to add:
+
+  - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
+    class method (TESTS).
+
+# Proposed functionality / feature additions:
+
+## Log setup needs to be less lame
+
+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.
+
+Simple example: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Colorful should just be a
+subclass of Catalyst::Log, no ::Plugin:: needed.
+
+See also: Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Dispatch and

+
+# REFACTORING
+
+##  PSGI
+
+###  Blockers
+
+  * lighttpd
+  * iis6
+  * Add some tests for Catalyst::Test::local_request
+  * Docs
+  * Test all the options work on all of the scripts
+  * Test (and fix if needed) Engine::Stomp and ::Wx
+  * Document how to use your own .psgi (and how you need to do ReverseProxy yourself if you do)
+  * Document migration for setting engine in setup
+  * Document migration for setting engine in $ENV
+  * Document what to do if you're a Prefork person
+  * Test Catalyst::Engine::PSGI still works?
+
+###  Nice to have
 
-     Test app: http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-app-bug-unknown-error/tree/master
+  * Do we need to do something else about middleware than let the user provide a .psgi?
+    What about the reverse proxy middleware
+  * Do we generate a .psgi by default?
+  * throw out Catalyst::Test's remote_request in favour of
+    Plack::Test::ExternalServer
+  * make sure we're running under a server that support psgi.streaming - maybe
+    just load the BufferedWrite middleware, although that might break things
+    relying on ->write doing an unbuffered write
+  * throw away the restarter and allow using the restarters Plack provides
+  * remove per-request state from the engine instance
+  * be smarter about how we use PSGI - not every response needs to be delayed
+    and streaming
 
-   - -restarter.t will fail if you don't have ::StashChange installed, and
-      also quite often at other times.
+##  The horrible hack for plugin setup - replacing it:
 
-   - Catalyst::Test - bugs with Moosification (Khisanth/kane)
+ * Have a look at the Devel::REPL BEFORE_PLUGIN stuff
+   I wonder if what we need is that combined with plugins-as-roles
 
-Compatibility warnings to add:
+## App / ctx split:
 
-   - $self->config should warn as config should only ever be called as a
-     class method.
+  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)
