-live CD inspection
-------------------
+Can we combine this with ability to set and read environment
+variables?  Currently guestfish uses many environment variables like
+$EDITOR without any corresponding ability to set them.
+
+ set EDITOR /usr/bin/emacs
+ echo $EDITOR  # or %{EDITOR}
+ edit /etc/resolv.conf

+live CD inspection for Windows 7
+--------------------------------
 
-Could this be done through the core API and existing calls?
+Windows 7 install CDs are quite different and pretty impenetrable.
+There are no obvious files to parse.

+Use /proc/self/mountinfo
+------------------------
+
+This file contains lots of interesting information about
+what is mounted and where. eg:
+
+  16 21 0:3 / /proc rw,relatime - proc /proc rw
+  17 21 0:16 / /sys rw,relatime - sysfs /sys rw,seclabel
+  18 23 0:5 / /dev rw,relatime - devtmpfs udev rw,seclabel,size=1906740k,nr_inodes=476685,mode=755
+  26 21 253:3 / /home rw,relatime - ext4 /dev/mapper/vg-lv_home rw,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered
+
+This could be used instead of current hairy code to parse the output
+of the 'mount' command.  We could add new APIs to return kernel mount
+options, type of filesystem at a mountpoint etc.

+guestfish drive letters

+
+There should be an option to mount all Windows drives as separate

+Integrate event log parsing more closely
+----------------------------------------
+
+https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/decoding-the-windows-event-log-using-guestfish/
+
+We should at least make sure the tools are packaged up for Fedora.  We
+could document formally how to do event log parsing.  Also the above
+only works for Windows Vista and later (since the log format changed),
+so we could extend this to work for earlier versions.

+Integrate virt-inspector with CMDBs
+-----------------------------------
+
+Either integrate virt-inspector with Configuration Management
+Databases (CMDBs) or at least check that virt-inspector produces the
+right range of data so that integration would be possible.  The
+standards for CMDBs come from the DMTF, see eg:
