 PHASE #1: (Goal: settle key design questions)
 
-Core:
-* API review: should "bpm" and "last_activity" arguments be 
-  included in the ClientEventHandler?
-* Internal: topology
-* Internal: advertising (propagate other peers' HELLOs, find new ones)
-* Internal: bootstrapping
-  => bootstrap should use plugins, possible multiple at the same time!
+Hostlist:
+* hostlist server (MHD-side)
+* hostlist client (CURL-side); monitoring of number of active connections (to establish need for bootstrapping)
+* hostlist server URL advertising & learning via P2P
+
+Topology:
+* Selecting peers from peerinfo for connects; blacklisting
+* Managing connections, F2F configuration obedience, rejecting prohibited connections
+* Forwarding of known HELLOs to neighbours (advertising)
+  [ Inbound HELLOs are processed by transport, right?  
+    But what about inbound encrypted HELLOs? ]
+
+ARM:
+* Make sure ARM supports daemons (non-service background processes, see hostlist/topology)
 
 Util:
-* consider adding "get_time" to "configuration" API
 * improve disk API [Nils]
+* Windows: use events instead of pipes to signal select()s [Nils]
+* only connect() sockets that are ready (select())
