+* Sheets editor is broken
+* GtkAction needs porting to GAction (and therefore menubar GtkUIManager -> GMenuModel)
+* We need G\[tk\]Application to use GAction so we need a cleaner split between cli and GUI
+* Reorganise dia & libdia into dia, libdia & libdiaui where most widgetry lives in libdiaui
+  and ideally libdia doesn't depend on Gtk at all
+* Keyboard shortcuts are tempremental when working with DiaCanvas
+* Scroll wheel is broken for DiaCanvas, Probably need to implement GtkScrollable and use
+  a standard GtkScrolledWindow instead of a pair of GtkScrollbar
+* DiaDisplay should probably be a GtkGrid subclass
+* DiaObject & co whould ideally become GObjects with much of the property infrastructure
+  being ported to GObject properties or other system open to introspection
+* Plugin API/ABI is already broken and poorly defined, We could avoid reinventing the
+  wheel by using libpeas which would give us the chance to support plugins in languages
+  other than C
+* PyDia is largly broken (not least by being Py2 & using PyGtk) but with libpeas we
+  could probably just drop it without loosing much
