{{TOC}}<br />
<br />
This is a living list of various issues and proposals that should be considered and revisited over time. For instance, a proposal to change something in the code or architecture (such as an API change), or to consider the reuse of some other project's code.<br />
<br />
Discussion of these items should occur on the [http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-developers/ ns-developers list]; this list is merely for archiving the items.<br />
<br />
'''Note: We have a [http://www.nsnam.org/contributing.html#bugs Bugzilla database] for tracking bugs, patches, feature requests, and tasks; this list is for items that don't fit into those categories or maybe are not ready or major enough for Bugzilla tracking.'''<br />
