+* Disassembler Factory
+
+How exactly does that qt plugin stuff work? We probably need some
+factory where all disassemblers can register and we can take one by
+name when opening a binary.
+
+* Data Postprocessing
+** Cleanup Chain
+
+** Anotation Chain
+
+* API plugins
+
+IDA has some nice annotations for all kinds of API functions also
+naming parameters and stuff. We should implement the same leveraging
+some data sources already present.
+
+** MAN plugin
+
+** Info plugin
+
+* File Format
+
+We're going to store transactions in XML files and zip the result
+up. Could be facts (like the region 0xAA to 0xFF is a basic
+block), deletion of such facts or changes to the binary. These facts
+can then be sent over XMPP to implement some multiplayer frida.
+
+Ideally scripting foo would then generate such transactions which are
+stored by some transaction manager and applied to the runnign data
+structure using them as a interface everywhere.
+
+* Decompiler
+
+Do natural loop detection, build some (lispy?) intermediate code and
+"optimize" sideeffects (like flags) away from instructions where not
+needed. Then reverse-apply fancy arithmetic tricks and format it as
+normal C code.
