 How can we solve these common user problems?

-  In guestfish, specified -m non-existent filesystem.  We could suggest
-  a list of filesystems, or suggest they run the virt-list-filesystems
-  command.
+[space for common problems here]
+
+Better support for encrypted devices
+------------------------------------
+
+Currently LUKS support only works if the device contains volume
+groups.  If it contains, eg., partitions, you cannot access them.
+We would like to add:
+
+  - An easier way to use this from guestfish.
+  - Direct access to the /dev/mapper device (eg. if it contains
+    anything apart from VGs).
+
+Display image as PS
+-------------------
+
+Display the structure of an image file as a PS.
+
+Greater use of blkid / libblkid
+-------------------------------
+
+guestfs_zero should use wipefs.  See wipefs(8).
+
+There are various useful functions in libblkid for listing partitions,
+devices etc which we are essentially duplicating in the daemon.  It
+would make more sense to just use libblkid for this.
+
+There are some places where we call out to the 'blkid' program.  This
+might be replaced by direct use of the library (if this is easier).
+
+Remove repo from appliance name
+-------------------------------
+
+There's no need to have the appliance name contain the repository name
+(ie initramfs.x86_64.img instead of initramfs.fedora-13.x86_64.img).
+
+Visualization
+-------------
+
+Eric Sandeen pointed out the blktrace tool which is a better way of
+capturing traces than using patched qemu (see
+contrib/visualize-alignment).  We would still use the same
+visualization tools in conjunction with blktrace traces.
+
+Virt-df UUID
+------------
+
+Virt-df and any other tools with --csv output should be able to print
+UUID of domain.  This allows you to track the real domain across
+renames etc.

-of these operations?  This is a basic usability requirement, and
-frequently requested.
+However this would need to not depend on libvirt, eg. loading it
