goals

Primary goals for 1.0.0 release:

1. it works reliably, and doesn't hang indefinitely when pieces cannot be found
2. pleasant UX story for the first-time user: good usage docs, output that offers transparency (progress bars, good error messages)
3. available on all major linux and osx package managers

non-goals

1. additional features (mdns, custom bootstrap list, optimizations)

[whyrusleeping]

Hey @noffle! I saw you we're around here today, what are the remaining TODO's for getting ipget up and running?

@Kubuxu was wanting to help out finishing this up, where would the best place for him to start be?

[hackergrrl]

Hey! The checklist above is accurate: tackling any of those issues would be of great help.

@Kubuxu Low hanging fruit include hackergrrl/fallback-ipfs-shell#2 or #33. If you're familiar with Go+Windows+IPFS, getting ipget working properly there would be wonderful.
