+* implement all the ideas from README
+* implement a more advanced dmenu alike that behaves like FF's awesomebar and where you can search in url + window title, with support for Xorg copy paste
+  ideal uri editor: awesome mode like FF, some keyb shortcuts (erase search string, go to end/begin of string,..), history (if you patch dmenu to be in vertical mode and you order correctly, that's it), support copy paste
+  isolate the search field feature from midori and make into a separate dmenu-like-but-more-powerful program?
+* recognize -h with GOption?
+* implement a vimperator-like link following scheme.  but let user pick his favorite characters to construct the "link identifiers" with.
+* add a keybind to hand the current url to an external scrips, so you can edit it and/or store it in the primary and secondary clipboards
+* clean up our structures for settings + sane defaults + don't iterate over struct to fill hasthtable. rather fill hashtable directly
+* implement getting feedback from socket
+* select/fork based instead of the pthread stuff -> drops dependency, more lightweight.
+* scrolling: make page up and page down configurable.
+* show % of location in statusbar/title if page doesn't fit entirely on view.
+* make default size configurable, and optional
+* on uzbl.org commits overview: add date+time and repository
+* how to handle different content types? (text-plain, image/png, application/pdf,... maybe a map of content-type to uzbl/command
+  xdg already has a spec for this i think
+  different "opening" modes (open as configured vs ask before opening)
+  integration with download and new window thingies?
+* blinking cursor when not in insert mode is confusing.  i suggest dimming it's color if possible
+* open in new window -> uzbl: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
+* note about merging better then patches. because commit names, and code can have changed in meanwhile. also github makes the process quite easy
+* check that in new version pageup etc works also in command
+* tab key to jump between input fields should probably work in both insert and command mode
+* allow to name a uzbl instance, name fifo/socket after it. use xorgwindow id as fallback
+* allow to tag , to group instances together
+* allow users to customize order, separating, colors,.. of items in statusbar using pango markup thing
+* mention bugtracker in readme, move tickets from github to new bugtracker
+* default value for fifo_dir, socket_dir so we don't need to if(fifo_dir). it will always be set to something?
+* change User-agent to contain uzbl + build date or something. + why is there "Mozilla" in the string
+* backspace key to pop characters from (multichar) command
+* optional logging of http requests&responses with ip/hostname and port. -> how to implement? handler? stdout? (through a socket so you know what corresponds to what?)
+* bench/optimize fifo vs socket performance. measure delays.  minimize forks. does glib use a shell? how does it detect the shebang line?
+* cookie support.  storing seems to work, but not yet sending
+* "remember account settings" support. but how? configure post data per site? regex match eg '^bbs.archlinux.org' ?
+* http_proxy env var not recognized. libproxy (used by libsoup) should handle this http://mail.gnome.org/archives/libsoup-list/2009-February/msg00018.html
+* support ssl. do ssl certificate & exception management similar to how we do cookies
+* improve DCOMMIT macro.  what if WC is dirty? what if user downloaded tarball without .git?
+* DARCH is not correct (should be at runtime)
+* when loading page foo.com, it can have img src=http://bar/..., uri in uzbl will be set to foo. we must pass bar to cookie handler
+* set default statusbar. line 1284
+* keybinds to open "next" or "previous" by looking for next/prev links and/or looking for numbers in the uri we can inc/decrement
+* variable replacing for title bar in "statusbar_visible" and statusbar_invisible states
+* get rid of config files -> send everything as commands to stdin on program launch -> you can change config at runtime.  
+  how to handle launching new windows? serialize state with tpl? (can also be useful for session saving), fork()ing? if so, how do we handle Xorg window id's?
+* handler for (broken) ssl certs.
+* bring readme up to date and put it on website
+* handlers for mailto: and maybe other thingies?
+* only_on_put
+* configure script
+* a variable that holds the page state: loading, pending, seen. this can be shown in titlebar/statusbar and used for multiple instances management
+* proxy_url is not a good var name. it's not a url.
+* regex style page searching? so you can do 'or' and 'and' things. flags like case sensitive etc.
+* can we export uri/state/tag/.. as xorg window "properties" or "attributes" or do we need to put them in titlebar and parse that?
+
+* config: check in the default place (XDG_CONFIG_HOME/..) for a config file, and if needed, do file reading (interpret line by line). not ini-based.
+* readd the --config flag to allow entering the same commands either through the file/stdin/fifo/socket
+* check for real command name, not just the first letter.
+* let users attach handlers to the most common events/signals in uzbl.
+* write little script to open new urls with the urxvt url thing +document.
+* add Rob/anydots trees on website
+
+SOMEDAY:
+check if we can make the settings loading less hard coded. eg( keep a list of all settings, and for each one, try to load it)
+figure out caching with webkit and in general how we can speed up everything
+figure out how webkit intercepts key input
+make "disable insert mode" (esc key) configurable
+keywords don't work for external commands. is this a problem?
