+Things to be done
+=================
+
+Big things to tackle, anyone interested is welcome to fork pyasn1, work on
+it and come up with a PR!
+
+New codecs
+----------
+
+* PER
+* OER
+* XER
+* LWER
+* JSON (alinged with existing experimental schemas)
+
+Lazy codecs
+-----------
+
+Implement a thin layer over base types to cache pieces
+of substrate being decoded till the very moment of ASN.1
+object access in the parse tree.
+
+Codecs generator interface
+--------------------------
+
+For indefinite length or chunked encoding mode, make codecs
+iterable producing/consuming substrate/objects.
+
+ASN.1 schema compiler
+---------------------
+
+Ideally, the compiler should parse modern schema files and be
+designed to emit code for arbitrary languages (including SQL).
+
+Base types
+----------
+
+Implement X.680 constructs, including information schema.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Add examples, including advanced/obscure use cases.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+Document more API, add notes and example snippets.
+
+Minor, housekeeping things
+--------------------------
+
+* more PEP8'ing at places
+* consider simplifying repr(), otherwise it tend to be too hard to grasp
+* Specialize ASN.1 character and useful types
+
+* ber.decoder:
+
+    * suspend codec on underrun error ?
+    * present subtypes ?
+    * component presence check wont work at innertypeconst
+    * type vs value, defaultValue
+
+* ber.encoder:
+
+    * Asn1Item.clone() / shallowcopy issue
+    * large length encoder?
+
+* type.useful:
+
+    * may need to implement prettyIn/Out
+
+* type.char:
+
+    * may need to implement constraints
+
+* type.namedtypes
+
+    * type vs tagset name convention
+
+* how untagged TagSet should be initialized?
