 Documentation improvements
 ==========================
 
-* htdbm documentation has been added and just needs peer review (plus
-  translations).
-
 * Missing documentation for the support program checkgid
 
 * New user docs: Directory Handling (mod_dir/mod_autoindex/etc)
+  (draft available in wiki)
 
 * Enhancements to the DTD/XSL:
-  - <glossary> tag that links to the glossary and uses some special 
-    style in the css.
   - New index: directives by context, including listing which directives
     are available for each AllowOverride setting.
   - New index: backout modules by type (aaa, mappers, loggers etc.)

   - More content and better organisation
   - mod_dav ressources are owned by the httpd
 
-* Making site-specific enhancements easier, including a documented
-  and robust way for 3P module docco to be added -- and have it
-  survive a server docco upgrade
-
-  - This could be something a simple and hackish as a manual/extra/
-    directory (a la the 1.3 src/modules/extra/ directory) and a
-    script in the support directory that scans the files there and
-    updates the manual indices.  (We do something like that now for
-    httpd.conf file with apxs [LoadModule, etc.].)
-
 * Provide example solutions for the mapping of encodings, especially
   for .gz etc. (also in regard to our default configuration)
-
-* Several features in Apache require write-access to the filesystem.
-    Examples: CacheRoot, DavLockDB, ScriptLog
-    We should treat the things consistently in the docs, and perhaps
-    suggest the use of directory like /usr/local/apache2/var/ that is
-    httpd-writable.
 
 * Change the name 'Apache' to 'Apache HTTP Server' or 'http'.
