 * Planned improvements
 
+** TODO Allow multiple elpher buffers
+
+   Shouldn't be too hard, just need elpher-current-node to be
+buffer-local and allow various buffer-switching procedures to
+do something sensible.
+   
+** TODO Remove "redraw" command
+This is only necessary for returning from displaying the raw
+server response.  If I can provide a better way of doing that
+then we can get rid of redraw entirely.
+
+** 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 [88%]
+   
+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
+- [X] Saving responses to disk
+- [X] Viewing raw responses
+  
+The last few will be made infinitely easier if we factor the
+gopher "getter" code differently.
