+EXPERIMENTAL MODULES:
+    Experimental modules should eventually be be promoted to fully supported
+    status of removed from the repository entirely (ie, the
+    'experiment' failed). This section tracks what needs to happen to 
+    get the modules promoted to fully supported status.

+    * mod_cache: handle cache_control: no_cache "field_name" to enable 
+      cacheing the response w/o header "field_name"
+      See RFC2616 section 14.9.1
+
+    * mod_cache: CacheEnable/CacheDisable should accept regular expressions.
+
+    * mod_disk_cache: Implement garbage collection
+
+    * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache interoperability:  Some cache
+      directive names are the same which precludes using mod_mem_cache
+      and mod_disk_cache concurrently.
+
+    * mod_mem_cache: Config directive to enable caching open file
+      descriptors or caching the content in malloc'ed storage.
+
+    * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Need to be able to query cache
+      status (num of entries, cache object properties, etc.).
+      mod_status could be extended to query optional hooks defined
+      by modules for the purpose of reporting module status.
+      mod_cache (et. al.) could define optional hooks that are called
+      to collect status.  Status should be queryable by
+      HTTP or SNMP?
+
+    * mod_mem_cache: garbage collection. One strategy is to simply
+      remove stale entries as we attempt to serve them. Another
+      strategy is to kick off a GC thread that traverses the cache
+      and preemptively remove stale entries.  How to manage a 
+      cache that is full? Do LRU GC? Other? Bueller?
+
+    * mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Complete implementing config
+      directives. 
+
+    * Sample config for mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache for
+      inclusion into httpd.conf.
+
+    * mod_cache/mod_mem_cache/mod_disk_cache: Documentation.
