-1.     Make dump honor the no-dump attribute on directories.  Currently, it
-       honours it only on files.  This means that a directory flagged with
-       the no-dump attribute will be dumped if it contains a file without
-       the no-dump flag.

-2.     Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one
-       invocation, like the SunOS version.
+Need to verify:
+---------------
+
+1.     Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this
+       was ported from *BSD and was not tested - in fact, this
+       wasn't even compiled in!). Need success reports for this.
+
+Urgent items (for the next stable version):
+-------------------------------------------
+
+All others:
+-----------
+
+1.     More documentation? Examples, crontab?
+
+2.     Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems 
+       (lseek/read negative count) (This should be OK as of 0.4b14.
+       Unfortunately, this seems to continue for a very few users).
+
+3.     Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and
+       make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation
+       of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a 
+       (v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we
+       already have the code for this). The BSD code in traverse.c
+       (all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend.
+
+4.     Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making
+       it able to debug dump with gdb.
+
+5.     Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible...
+
+6.     Better readline completition in restore (escape spaces etc).
