   * Join mailing lists, start sending patches.
   * Default behaviour should be, once installed it shouldn't change things, then the admin can lock down from there.
   * Sabayon/Pesselus is planned to merge into a single source upstream, but the different tools will remain, as some people will want to have lockdown featurs without profiles.
   * Profile groups
     * Apply Sabayon profiles by unix group id
   * Make the application of Default/Mandatory keys a little more intuitive. Minor UI changes.
   * Target installing Sabayon by default on an LTSP/Edubuntu server model.
   * Needs some really nice docs so ogra's mother can understand its usage. Submit docs back upstream.
   * LDAP mode? Don't worry for hardy.
     * Should be more straightforward after LDAP server makes it into hardy to add this later.

 * Pessulus:
   * Needs a mode, similar to Sabayon, where we can assign lockdowns based on users/groups, and not all or nothing as it is now.
   * We should review the icon, it currently rather looks like a firewall app or virus scanner (It's a shield)

 * Testing:
   * Beat community over the head with a Sabayon/Pessulus stick and GET THEM TO TEST.
     * This will be key, as we want it there by default.

Summary

Sabayon and Pesselus are our preferred application for managing sessions. Unfortunately, they have some rough edges. We need to fix this.
