 * Planned improvements
-  
-** TODO Make URLs the basic address type.
-Currently I waste a lot of effort converting between
-URL and non-URL representations.  This is unnecessary, and
-actually makes lots of things uglier.
-
-For example, the bookmarks file contains addresses in Elpher's
-internal representation, whereas I expect users would prefer
-it contain URLs.
-
-So the idea would be for (elpher-node-address node) to be
-a either a string or a symbol, with symbols used for "special"
-pages (bookmarks, start page, etc).  The getter functions
-`elpher-address-selector' etc will still do what they currently
-do, but will process the URL to do it.
-
-This also means that non-gopher URLs will be explicitly represented
-as such: no more abusing the "h" type for these.

 ** TODO Replace support for user-specified starting pages
 This used to be available, but was removed during a refactor.
 
+** TODO Allow for grouping of bookmarks
+To support this I'd like to add a bookmark page specific
+set of keybindings.  Currently all bindings available on
+the bookmark page are available everywhere else.  But
+expanding and collapsing bookmark groups sounds like it
+might need more specific bindings.
+
+** IN-PROGRESS Implement Gemini support [66%]
+   
+Here is the checklist of features required before release:
+- [X] basic genimi transactions
+- [ ] gemini transactions requiring client certificates
+- [X] gemini input handling
+- [X] gemini map files (text/gemini)
+- [X] Support for plain text responses (text/*)
+- [X] Support for image responses (text/image)
+- [X] Support for mime-specified character encodeing
+- [ ] Saving responses to disk
+- [ ] Viewing raw responses
+  
+The last few will be made infinitely easier if we factor the
+gopher "getter" code differently.
