We need to increase the work done on testing. This will + help to stabilize Freezer. + +* Documentation. We should target for a split, refactoring and global + improvement of our docs, which is a required step to increase the size of our + community. + +* Implement remote backups. Allow the users to use any instance of freezer-agent + to backup remote resources to any storage driver + +* Deprecate CLI. Freezer-agent will accept jobs only through configuration + files not through CLI. + +* Allow the engines/storage drivers to register their own OPTS + +I would be honoured to have your support. + +Thanks, +Saad Zaher (szaher)
