+GObject Introspection
+---------------------
+
+We periodically get asked to implement gobject-introspection (it's a
+GNOME thing):
+
+http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection
+
+This would require a separate Gtk C API since the main guestfs handle
+would have to be encapsulated in a GObject. However the main
+difficulty is that the annotations supported to define types are not
+very rich. Notably missing are support for optional arguments
+(defined but not implemented), support for structs (unless mapped to
+other objects).
+
+Also note that the libguestfs API is not "object oriented".
+
+libosinfo mappings for virt-inspector
+-------------------------------------
+
+Return libosinfo mappings from inspection API.
+
+virt-sysprep ideas
+------------------
+
+ - touch /.unconfigured ?
+ - other Spacewalk / RHN IDs (?)
+ - Kerberos keys
+ - Puppet registration
+ - user accounts
+ - Windows sysprep
+ (see: https://github.com/clalancette/oz/blob/e74ce83283d468fd987583d6837b441608e5f8f0/oz/Windows.py )
+ - blue skies: change the background image
+ - (librarian suggests ...)
+ . install a firstboot script virt-sysprep --script=/tmp/foo.sh
+ . run an external shell script
+ . run external guestfish script virt-sysprep --fish=/tmp/foo.fish
+ . rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*
+ - /var/run/* and pam_faillock's data files
+ - homedirs/.ssh directory, especially /root/.ssh (Steve Grubb)
+ - if drives are encrypted, then dm-crypt key should be changed
+ and drives all re-encrypted
+ - /etc/pki
+ (Steve says ...)
+ Rpm uses nss. Nss sets up its crypto database in
+ /etc/pki. Depending on how long the machine ran before cloning, you
+ may have picked up some certificates or things. This is an area
+ that you would want to look into.
+ - secure erase of inodes etc using scrub (Steve Grubb)
+ - other directories that could require cleaning include:
+ /var/cache/gdm/*
+ /var/lib/fprint/*
+ /var/run/*
+ /var/lib/AccountService/users/*
+ /var/lib/sss/db/*
+ /var/lib/samba/*
+ /var/lib/samba/*/*
+ (thanks Marko Myllynen, James Antill)
+ - remove or modify UUIDs in /etc/fstab (eg. on Ubuntu)
+ (thanks Joshua Daniel Franklin)
+
+Launch remote sessions over ssh
+-------------------------------
+
+We had an idea you could add a launch method that uses ssh, ie. all
+febootstrap and qemu commands happen the same as now, but prefixed by
+ssh so it happens on a remote machine.
+
+Note that proper remote support and integration with libvirt is
+different from this, and people are working on that. ssh would just
+be "remote-lite".
+
+virt-make-fs and virt-win-reg need to not be in Perl
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+Probably they should be in C or OCaml.
+
+Integrate snap-type functionality in inspection tools
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Mo Morsi's "snap" program lets you describe a guest as the list of
+packages (eg. RPMs) installed + changes made to those RPMs + files
+added.
+
+http://projects.morsi.org/wiki/Snap
+
+This results in a compact description of the guest. He even managed
+to do a kind of migration of guests by simply recreating the guest
+from the description on the target machine.
+
+It would be ideal to integrate this and/or use inspection to do this.
