+    - Rework storage layer, to make it easier to support local files,
+      S3, and in the future more storage backends.  cumulus-util now
+      permits URLS for specifying storage locations, including s3:// for
+      Amazon S3 storage.
+    - The script-level interface between the main cumulus binary and
+      remote storage has changed.  It should not yet be considered
+      completely finalized.
+    - Add a tool (cumulus-sync) for copying snapshots between storage
+      repositories.
+    - Add a (mostly proof-of-concept) FUSE interface for accessing
+      snapshots.
+    - Implement a basic garbage-collection command for deleting unused
+      segments.  There still needs to be a way to select snapshots to
+      delete (perhaps based on some type of schedule).
+    - Assorted minor bugfixes.
