-Tool to build nfs export openstack environments.  This is useful for development
+Tool to build (nfs export) openstack dev environments
+
+## Tod
+
+* move back to using sudo
+* Add volume support
+* Add quantum support
+* Add python-novaclient cli support
+* allow changing of git locations (specify different tag/branch or repos)
+* change method of invoking stack.sh to ./stack.sh all _or_ ./stack.sh nova-compute,nova-network,nova-api,nova-volume
+* allow sql/rabbit connection to be specified via environment variables with sensible defaults
+
+# Future
 
-* todo: move as much from run to install as possible
-  * issue: HOST_IP will be different on each machine - might need to update / change stuff
-* todo: use local disk on nfs boots for instances
 * idea: create a live-cd / vmware preview image using this?
 * idea: use lxc to make the proto-image have everything?  so launching a new server is just turn on / updating / run?
