+============================
+
+Here are some things that it'd be nice to have volunteer
+help on.
+
+1. Rework the test suite so that it's easier to maintain
+and see exactly which tests fail:
+ A. Extract beebe.tar into separate file and update scripts
+ B. Split apart multiple tests into separate tests with input
+ and "ok" files for comparisons.
+
+2. Pull in more of the tests from gawk that only test standard features.
+ The beebe.tar file appears to be from sometime in the 1990s.
+
+3. Make the One True Awk valgrind clean. In particular add a
+ a test suite target that runs valgrind on all the tests and
+ reports if there are any definite losses or any invalid reads
+ or writes (similar to gawk's test of this nature).
+
+4. Set the "close on exec" flag for file and pipe redirection
+ file descriptors.
