- doc:
- cdist manpage (main manpage)
- cleanup following man + their tree:
- cdist-language [IMPORTANT]
- cdist-design.text [IMPORTANT]
- cdist-push-pull
- cdist-quickstart
- add terminology
- define entry point
- define modules / mix with library?
- and entry point is my only real configuration?
- define steps within configuration apply
- detect impossible/unsafe things:
- creating a file twice
- installing and removing a package
- and report location of occurence
- parse afterwards?
- how to define templates
- variable substitution from shell may be problematic
- SHELL SCRIPTS! (executables? do not support?)
- stdout
- cleanup / integrate doc/man/cdist.text
- define how to write / provide functions
- keep generic / easy extension
- cdist-deply-to
- sync conf/{lib/,modules,host/$name}
- cdist-explore
- add more stuff to explore
- write manpage
- cdist-build-explorer| ssh localhost
- Create usable Makefile
- install
- to implement (from puppet):
- package management and different "providers"
- file / directory handling
- ssh key handling
- services
- user management
- including passwords
- integrate "external ressources"
- probably via explorer
- what about blobs?
- what about source = ${host}/.../
- to implement (from cfengine):
- file editing (sed, awk)
- huge library of functions shipped by default
- disconnected clients with "cache"
- release first public version, which includes at least:
- manpages
- only do necessary work
- install packages only if not existent
- copy file only if different
Before initial release, document:
- how to add package backends
- how to write a minimal host manifest
- create library with all functions (and their parameters)
- cdist_package
- cdist_file
- cdist_dir

Later:
- multi master setups
- pull strategy
