+## FIXME
+
+This file is a loose collection of things to improve in the codebase, for the internal
+use of the maintainers.
+
+They are not big enough to be in the roadmap, not user-facing enough to be github issues,
+and not important enough to be discussed in the mailing list.
+
+They are just like FIXME comments in the source code, except we're not sure where in the source
+to put them - so we put them here :)
+
+
+* Merge Runtime, Server and Builder into Runtime
+* Run linter on codebase
+* Unify build commands and regular commands
+* Move source code into src/ subdir for clarity
+* Clean up the Makefile, it's a mess
