+Classes
+=======
+
+(Many classes do not raise the proper NSExceptions yet.)
+
+* NSArchiver::			[8]
+	Missing class name substitution methods.
+	Coder could be much more efficient and compressed by
+	 implementing interesting idea I had about not writing out the
+	 xref tags for encoded objects. 
+
+* NSArray::			[8]
+
+* NSAssertionHandler::		[9]
+
+* NSAutoreleasePool::		[9]
+	But not exception- or thread-safe
+
+* NSBTreeBlock::		[0]
+
+* NSBTreeCursor::		[0]
+
+* NSBundle::			[8]
+
+* NSByteStore::			[0]
+
+* NSByteStoreFile::		[0]
+
+* NSCalendarDate::		[0]
+
+* NSCharacterSet::		[8]
+	decomposableCharacterSet and illegalCharacter set missing
+	No Unicode support	
+
+* NSCoder::			[8]
+	Missing class name substitution methods.
+
+* NSConditionLock::		[0]
+
+* NSConnection::		[0]
+	But GNU Connection is there as a base.  
+	GNU Connection, however, needs:
+	 * to handle retain/release/dealloc properly
+	 * to be integrated with NSNotification's
+	 * to be integrated with NSRunLoop
+	 * to be integrated with NSInvocation
+	 * to be integrated with pending collection class fixes
+	 * to be more robust than UDP
+	 * Thread-safety overhaul, this is major
+
+* NSCountedSet::		[8]
+
+* NSData::			[8]
+
+* NSDate::			[8]
+
+* NSDeserializer::		[0]
+
+* NSDictionary::		[8]
+
+* NSDistantObject::		[0]
+	But GNU Proxy is there as a base.
+	See todo's for NSConnection.
+
+* NSEnumerator::		[9]
+
+* NSException::			[9]
+	But this needs integration with new, better
+
+* NSInvocation::		[3]
+
+* NSLock::			[0]
+
+* NSMethodSignature::		[4]
+
+* NSMutableArray::		[8]
+
+* NSMutableCharacterSet::	[4]
+
+* NSMutableData::		[8]
+
+* NSMutableDictionary::		[8]
+
+* NSMutableSet::		[8]
+
+* NSMutableString::		[8]
+
+* NSNotification::		[0]
+	But supposedly Georg has it almost finished.  
+	He's been saying this for months, though.
+
+* NSNotificationCenter::	[0]
+	See NSNotification
+
+* NSNotificationQueue::		[0]
+	See NSNotification
+
+* NSNumber::			[9]
+
+* NSObject::			[10]
+
+* NSProcessInfo::		[9]
+
+* NSProxy::			[0]
+	But GNU Proxy is there as a base.
+	See todo's for NSConnection
+
+* NSRecursiveLock::		[0]
+
+* NSRunLoop::			[0]
+	But Allan Clearwaters is working on it
+
+* NSScanner::			[0]
+
+* NSSerializer::		[0]
+
+* NSSet::			[8]
+
+* NSString::			[8]
+	Careful, relationship with GNU String is tricky; this could
+	 also use fixing.
+
+* NSThread::			[0]
+
+* NSTimeZone::			[8]
+
+* NSTimeZoneDetail::		[8]
+
+* NSTimer::			[0]
+
+* NSUnarchiver::		[8]
+	See NSArchvier
+
+* NSUserDefaults::		[0]
+	But I thought Georg had something for this.
+
+* NSValue::			[9]
+
+
+Cross-Class Projects
+====================
+
+* Collection classes need overhaul for
+	* OpenStep compatibility
+	* Getting rid of function pointers so that DO will work
+	* Efficiency
+	* Integrating with new NSHashtable and NSMaptable functions
+
