 virsh, V2V, libguestfs, etc -- are useful but fragmented.  Bring these

 * Create a central http://virt-tools.org website.  This is not meant
   to replace the existing websites, but to provide a central
   directory and overview, pointing to existing upstreams.
+  Status: rjones is requesting internal Red Hat resources to help
 
 * Write many more docs -- man pages, FAQs, how-tos, roadmap.
+  Status: rjones to scope this out fully
 
 * Video demos (e.g. "How do I pass through a device", "How do I
   use guestfish").
+  Status: rjones has done one example video:
+  http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/first-virt-tools-guestfish-video-tutorial
+  Currently blocked on getting a better microphone (on order).
 
 * Unify tools' command line argument syntax.
+  Status: jclift to scope this out
+
+* Look into return codes of command line programs.
+  Status: jclift to write something about this
+
+* virt-clone requests
+  Status: pcao to write a summary of what needs doing
 
 * Fix virsh (it is a second-class citizen to the main libvirt UI right
   now, it should not be).
-
   + Make it more scriptable.
+  Status: jclift to add a section here about this
 
 * Separate tool for creating/managing libvirt XML fragments.  Possibly
   a part of virt-install.
+  Status: crobinson to add a section about this
 
 * libosinfo guest type metadata library
-
-* virt-dmesg (for Linux guests, pulls dmesg info out of the kernel)
-
-* virt-uname
-
-* virt-inspector generates a full description of the guest's
-  installed packages, configuration, etc. -- XML output from this
-  should be unified with image-builder XML.
-
-* Guest agent.
+  + Can we, should we use it in libvirt?
+  + Ditto libguestfs / virt-inspector?
+  + Is there overlap with the CIM standard?
+  Status: crobinson to add a section about this
+
+* virt-inspector:
+  + Overlap with Image Builder?
+  + Overlap with CIM?
+  + can we use virt-inspector to detect the format of a CD ISO installer?
+  + ditto live media, other install media
+  + Can we use libosinfo?
+  Status: rjones to investigate.
 
 * virt-v2v:
-
-  + p2v (as a small addition to v2v -- maybe just a CD you boot that
-    makes the volume available, or runs the v2v tool on it).
-
+  [ This is a laundry list.  mdbooth please organize this section ]
   + qcow2 for KVM (import/export).
-
   + RHEV-M integration.
-
   + virt-manager integration.
-
   + Text console drivers (virtio-console).
-
   + Sparse ("thin") disk support.
-
   + SPICE support.
-
   + VMDK support.

+* virt-p2v

+* virt-manager
+  [ This is a laundry list.  crobinson please organize this section ]
   + UI scaling (we shouldn't blow up if 100 VMs are defined).
-
   + Integrate future spice-gtk widget w/virt-viewer.
-
   + right-click, virt-inspector, guestfs-browser, libosinfo, start.
-
   + QEMU-session (need NetworkManager bridge/tap device, or something
     else to allow non-root user to create a bridge for the guests).
-
   + Run an app from a guest in a seamless window on the host desktop.
-
   + Cross platform, for making it work on MacOS X and Windows
-
   + Redesign interface, for usability
-
   + plug-ins, to allow people to write customised extension
+  + Windows port
+
+* virt_web (lightweight web UI)
+  Status: danpb to write something here
 
 * guestfs-browser
+  + Further development.
+  + Improved UI, Mairin offered to help.
+  + Integration with virt-inspector.

+
+* virt-dmesg (for Linux guests, pulls dmesg info out of the kernel)
+* virt-uname
+  Current source for these is in various places in git.annexia.org.
+  This needs to be organized and turned into a working, robust,
+  standalone program.
