+Last check: 02. May 2004
+Feel free to add/delete new/obsolete items as needed.
+
+1. Yet to write:
+================
+
+en/module/
+
+  Describe each installer module (this is why the book is written)
+
+  Ability to install from PLIP?
+
+en/tech-info/
+
+  Information on how to customize your own boot floppy, what needs to
+  be compiled into the kernel. Some info can be reused from the old
+  manual and from the debian-installer/doc/docbook/kernel-policy.xml
+  file.
+
+rescue-replace-kernel
+
+  Document how to make a replacement kernel for special needs.
+
+
+2. Update and proofread:
+========================
+
+There are still various small left-overs all over the manual (like
+mentioning various kernel flavors based on 2.2 kernels [hardware/*,
+install-methods/downloading-files.xml, boot-installer/i386.xml].
+
+We have to rename image names according to the new archive order.
+
+Above is true especially for non-i386 architectures, volunteers needed!
+
+en/partitioning/
+
+  General facts should stay there, but *concrete* steps from
+  installation should be moved into en/module/part*.xml.
+
+en/partitioning/device-names.xml:
+
+  Install system uses devfs, so device names are different
+
+en/boot-installer/i386.xml
+
+  Tell more how to boot for TFTP for the various systems.
+  Mostly a pointer to further documentation of the system,
+  but now the user knows where to look for.
+
+2.1. Broken things
+
+en/welcome/doc-organization.xml
+
+  The &url-install-manual; link is broken and results in a bad sentence.
+  
+  Missing documentation on building d-i from source. There is a commented
+  out sentence that linked to an old boot-floppy-techinfo document.
+
+3. Create reasonable build system
+=================================
+
+Currently there is just whacky wow-i-can-get-html-out-of-it build
+system in ./build directory.
+
+3.1 build related items
+-----------------------
+
+Move doc/manual/validate.sh to the doc/manual/build directory.
+
+Move doc/manual/doc-check to the doc/manual/build directory.
+
+Aviod other scripts in the top doc/manual directory.
