+More random notes, goals
+--------------------------------
+- REDUCE "MAGICALNESS", from an IRC discussion with ronny:
+  - integration into IDEs
+  - python2.6/python3 compat? 
+  - initpkg exports
+  - assert reinterpretation 
+  - greenlet compiles at runtime only in "dev-mode"
+  - conftest's are "scary", hum, what about 
+
+nicefications: 
+looponfailing shoudl nicely signal tests that failed but now PASS tests
+rename Node to itemtestloop
+refactor config and session tests to go into test_distsession.py 
+raises DID NOT RAISE: report the return value
+have node.shutdown perform out-of-band so that shutdowns happens more quickly
+tracebacks of importerrors of test modules should start with the test module file
+
+- fix hostmanage to care for setting PYTHONPATH properly
+
+- BRANCH: 
+  adding of options 
+
+- BRANCH: 
+    TEMPDIR handling 
+    syspath handling (notify on changes, restore for each test?) 
+
+- COMPLETE REPORTING FOR MERGE!
+  - remove ItemStart and CollectionStart 
+    which are only needed for collectonly. 
+    implement it some other way. 
+
+  - pre-counting of test items 
+
+  - move assert reinterp back to session? 
+
+  - merge "--tb" and "--fulltrace" option, --tb=full 
+  - implement --showouterr, don't show outerr by default 
+
+  - domainpath? 
+
+  - translate remote filenames to local filenames so that,
+    probably based on option
+
+  - review safe_repr
+
+  - move OutcomeRepr.where/exconly attr to ReprExceptionInfo 
+    or substitute as LocationRepr? 
+
+- reprcrash rename message to exconly 
+
+- test terminal reporter 
+  ACCEPTANCE test for eventlog writing
+  ACCEPTANCE test for acceptance custom reporting :) 
+
+  ACCEPTANCE showing nice Collection Errors  
+    
+  ACCEPTANCE test for "py.test2" exit signals 
+  ACCEPTANCE test for "py.test2 --traceconfig" 
+  ACCEPTANCE test for nice reprsentation of failures during Collection
+  ACCEPTANCE test for nice reprsentation of failures during Generator Collection 
+  ACCEPTANCE test for "py.test2" conftest containing syntax errors
+  
+  ACCEPTANCE test for "py.test2" honouring conftest specifying "extrainfo"
+  ACCEPTANCE test for "py.test2" on a simple example project 
+ 
+- merge CollectionFinish and ItemTestReport
+  maybe with base class: BaseReport and some common attrs/methods
+ 
+- merge terminal/remote and dist-testing
+  and make allocation of tests to hosts more dynamic
+
+- time setup/teardown and the actual test runs separately 
+  ACCEPTANCE:
+  py.test2 --
+  py.test2 --repeat=10

+- expect failing tests
