-
-## Deployment and Federation Configuration/Management
-* Define how a federation is managed - [#126](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/126)
-* Review current configuration mechanism - [#49](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/49)
-* Make the configuration easier for Docker-based setup - [#36](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/36)
-
-
-## Testing
-* (Unit-test writing and unit testing are ongoing.)
-* More Integration Testing, Validation Testing, System Testing, Benchmarking
-* Define some standard test systems (e.g. local virtual cluster, data center, WAN)
-* Develop standardized test descriptions and documentation (test setup, inputs, outputs)
-* Build up a suite of tests to test each identified fault
-* More tools for cluster benchmarking
-* Identify bottlenecks using profiling and monitoring
-* Fault-testing framework
-* Clean exit for the bigchaindb-benchmark process - [#122](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/122)
-* Tool to bulk-upload transactions into biacklog table - [#114](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/114)
-* Tool to deploy multiple clients for testing - [#113](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/113)
-* Tool to read transactions from files for testing - [#112](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/112)
-
-
-## Specific Bugs/Faults and Related Tests
-* Validation of other nodes
-* Changefeed watchdog
-* Non-deterministic assignment of tx in S is a DoS vulnerability - [#20](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/20)
-* Queues are unbounded - [#124](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/124)
-* Better handling of timeouts in block creation - [#123](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/123)
-* Secure node-node communication - [#77](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/77)
-* Checking if transactions are in a decided_valid block (or otherwise) when necessary - [#134](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/134)
-* When validating an incoming transaction, check to ensure it isn't a duplicate - [#131](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/131)
-* Consider secondary indexes on some queries - [#105](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/105)
-
-
-## Transactions / Assets
-* Current Top-Level Goal: Define and implement "v2 transactions", that is, support multisig (done) and:
-* Support for multiple inputs and outputs - [#128](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/128)
-* Crypto-conditions specific to ILP - [#127](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/127)
-* Support divisible assets - [#129](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/129)
-* Define a JSON template for digital assets - [#125](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/125)
-* Revisit timestamps - [#132](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/132)
-* Refactor structure of a transaction - [#98](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/98)
-* Plugin or hook architecture e.g. for validate_transaction - [#90](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/90)
-
-
-## Web API (HTTP Client-Server API)
-* Current Top-Level Goal: Support v2 transactions (see above)
-* Validate the structure of incoming transactions
-* Return the correct error code if something goes wrong
-* Validate transaction before writing it to the backlog - [#109](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/109)
-* Better organization of transaction-related code - [#108](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/108)
-* Add an endpoint to query unspents for a given public key
-* More endpoints
-* See [open issues with the "rest-api" label](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Arest-api)
-
-
-## Drivers
-* Update the reference driver (Python) to support v2 transactions and web API (see above)
-* Drivers/SDKs for more client-side languages (e.g. JavaScript, Ruby, Java)
-
-
-## Public Sandbox Testnet and Public BigchainDB
-* Deploy a 3-node Public Sandbox Testnet in a data center, open to all external users, refreshing daily
-* Deploy Public BigchaindB Testnet with more than 3 nodes and with nodes more globally-distributed
-* Public BigchainDB governance/voting system
-* Transaction (or usage) accounting
-* Billing system
-
-
-## Other
-* Get BigchainDB production-ready for submission to AWS Marketplace (as an AMI)
-
-
-## Future
-* Permissions framework
-* More Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT)
-* Better support for smart contract frameworks
-* Algorithm audits
-* Protocol audits
-* Code (implementation) audits
-* Security audits
-* IPFS interoperability - [#100](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/issues/100)
-* ORM to better-decouple BigchainDB from its data store (will make it easy to try other databases)
-* Support more server operating systems
