-- use mknod(2) and not execute mknod(1)
+This is a short list of things that needs to be done. They are in no specific
+order. I will gladly accept patches for any of these items, or any other stuff
+people offer up.

+- more documentation (can never have too much.)
+- document the config file format (it will change over time...)
+- add proper man page
- add klibc to the build process (or make it easier to do) to get
smaller binary
-- document the config file format (it will change over time...)
-- persistant naming database backend
+- import latest libsysfs and convert udev to use it.
+- On remove, look up the device in the database (now that we have one) and
+ delete what was created, not what the kernel is calling the device.
+- add symlink generation and removal support
+- better partition support (it's a hack right now, maybe new libsysfs changes
+ can help out a lot here.)
+- allow database to be queried by other programs
+- split program into two pieces (daemon and helper that sends events to it).
+ This will allow us to keep track of sequences, and lots of other needed
+ stuff.
+- keep track of current permissions on devices when daemon shuts down.
+- better permission handling
+- create kernel name to devfs name config file so that all of the devfs users
+ will have an upgrade path.
- make program work like design says it should (three parts, not 1)
- add hooks to call D-BUS when new node is created or removed
- lots of other stuff...
