+Desirable stuff (to be updated on GeoDjango Roadmap)
+ * Distance API
+   * Houses.objects.filter(point__intersects=school.point.buffer(Distance(5,km)) 
+     * Distance is without SRS?  [http://exogen.case.edu/projects/geopy/ Geopy] API is neat, MIT
+ * Common models for discussion/communication
+   * House (point)
+   * School District (poly)
+   * Bus Route (line)
+ * Support for a mapping framework (e.g. Google Maps/Earth, Yahoo Maps, MS Live, etc.)
+   * User widget, admin widget, databrowse plugin
+ * WMS views
+ * Spatial querying w/ unit tests
+
+
+=== Common CS ===
+ * WGS84
+ * NAD83
+ * NAD27
+ * NZ Transverse Mercator (NZGD2000) (epsg:2193)
+ * NZ Map Grid (NZGD49) epsg:27200
+

+Field.__str__ in the face of null-ish data:
+ float('') broken.
+
+Descriptor-based field instead of get_FIELD_geos; (scrap GeoMixin?  may still be needed to manage c ref lifetimes)
+
+Multiple Geom per Model API
+ LayerMapping -> CityBoundary
+ but
+ Multiple -> City where .boundary is one geom of the model.
+
+__str__ cleanup (class names out)
+
+downcase module names
+
+2.3 compatibility (decorators, ???)
+
+How is SRS initially determined in LayerMapping?
+
+Why transform and transform_to are separate?
+
+GDal/GEOS geom mapping?
+
+Way to map .srs to srid programmatically?
+
+LayerMapping raise custom exceptions
+
+LayerMapping use Model.create_many once it exists.
+
+leak testing?
+ Lots of handles and __delete__
+
+why is GEOSGeometry doing ._cache_cs and self.coord_seq (creating a
+new CS unless specifically avoiding it) rather than caching internally
+and returning the same one?
+
+Seems pretty frequent:
+>>> poly.exterior_ring is poly.exterior_ring
+False
+
+
+SpatialRefSys.ellipsoid without GDAL
+
+Document what works and doesn't without optionals (GDAL, ???)
+
+LayerMapping model.validate?
+Or at least clearly document.
+
+Need GIS fixture loader.
+
+Geos .area() and friends need desired UOM args.
