03:07 < nickm> ok.  tomorrow morning I try to get messaging sorted, and try to
               write up a registry-based exe version checker.

- Download improvements.
  - Back off on download failure.
  - Handle full stalled file in download.
  - Use if-modified-since on timestamp

- Write client-side code
  . Decide early if a python implementation will do for v1.
     o Adjust httplib, urllib2 to use socks4a.
       o Check SOCKS package for suitability as basis for socks4a support?
     - Look into best packageing practices

  . Write code to run, telling another process about status,
    eventually coming up with a list of packages to install or an
    "A-OK" signal.

  D GUI

  o DL-via-Tor
  o Install-when-done
  o Verbose output
  - quiet output.
  X Rendezvous-back with Tor when done.

- Better configurability: let users override mirrors, keys, etc.
- Backend for "A bunch of files you can unzip someplace."
- OSX backend (hard).
- Proper exponential back-off on download backend.

- Wrapping
  - More unit tests

. Documentation
  - More comments, more tests
  o Document EXE and RPM formats in HOWTO.
  . full pydoc
  - revise spec

- Testing
  - Much bigger unit tests.
