-* The p1-4.c testcase needs significant tuning.  Currently it takes
-  too long (especially when SHOW_PROGRESS is turned on) and doesn't
-  show significant improvement.
+* Grader:
 
-* The semantics of the join system call should change so that it only
-  returns the exit code once.
+  - Fix bug where failures are being treated as warnings.
 
-* mmap/munmap should use segment IDs like Nachos.  Too hard otherwise.
+* Userprog project:
 
-* Some confusion--do we really get overlapping ro/rw segment in normal
-  link?  Student example seemed to show that we don't.
+  - Move `join' implementation here, from `threads' project, to help
+    normalize the project difficulties.
 
-* Finish writing the tour.
+  - The semantics of the join system call should change so that it
+    only returns the exit code once.
 
-* Come up with a way for us to release some of the tests.
+  - Mark read-only pages as actually read-only in the page table.  Or,
+    since this was consistently rated as the easiest project by the
+    students, require them to do it.
 
-* userprog project should mark read-only pages as actually read-only
-  in the page table
+  - Don't provide per-process pagedir implementation but only
+    single-process implementation and require students to implement
+    the separation?  This project was rated as the easiest after all.
+    Alternately we could just remove the synchronization on pid
+    selection and check that students fix it.
+
+* Documentation:
+
+  - Finish writing tour.
+
+  - Add "Digging Deeper" sections that describe the nitty-gritty x86
+    details for the benefit of those interested.
+
+  - Add explanations of what "real" OSes do to give students some
+    perspective.
+
+* Assignments:
+
+  - Add extra credit:
+
+    . Low-level x86 stuff, like paged page tables.
+
+    . Other good ideas.
+
+  - mmap/munmap should use segment IDs like Nachos.  Too hard
+    otherwise.
+
+  - Add src/testcases/vm, src/testcases/filesys and make it clear to use
+    them?
+
+* Tests:
+
+  - Release some of them.
+
+  - The threads, userprog, vm test source files could use
+    factorization and cleanup along the lines of fslib in the filesys
+    tests.
+
+  - The p1-4.c testcase needs significant tuning.  Currently it takes
+    too long (especially when SHOW_PROGRESS is turned on) and doesn't
