   Large Chunks of funtionality that need work:
   ============================================
   
   - Statistics
    - Simple
    - resource analysis class/system wide
    - resource correlation course wide
    - other stats from CAPA
    - Complex
    - foil level analysis/correlation measures
    - derandomized foils analysis
    - have/view reason student selected a foil
    - resource quality, how good is a resource
   
   - Messaging
    - email gateways into/out of the system
    - handle more types of communication
          - messages seeded with data from spreadsheet
          - chat / whiteboard
          - "round robin" feedback handling
   
   - Grading
    - simple grading needs cleaning up (see Guy's TODO list)
    - survey data extraction ( stat complex could handle most of
     this)
    - essay / shortanswer
    - instructor / autoget all/none
    - team based submission
    - peer graded
    - peer suggest grade
   
   - homework engine
    - new parm - mode -> homework/exam/survey controls response
     renderings / awards and solved status
    - edit interface / clone other problem
    - math stuff
    - validating <part> and multiple <*response> works as
     advertised
    - CAPA problems 
    - <imageresponse> need Java applet
    - <randomlabel> 
   
   
   - RAT
    - choose parts
    - set conditions
    - language for conditions
    - browse link
    - some kind of non-anti-save
   
   - Publish
    - review step
    - co-author locking
    - auto thumbnail / convert images
   
 VERIFICATION OF CONTENT  - printing
     c have TA's do homework (G)   - tex target (CGI / daemon?)
