first

• machines:
  • short default output
  • long '-l' output, -H, -o, -s
  • get image defaults and fill those in
• few more commands? provision (create-machine?)
• uuid caching
• UUID prefix support
• profile command (adding profile, edit, etc.)

later (in no particular order)

• signing: should sigstr include more than just the date? How about the request path??? Not according to the cloudapi docs.
• restify-client and bunyan-light without dtrace-provider
• Get node-smartdc-auth to take a log option. Perhaps borrow from imgapi.js' cliSigner et al.
• node-smartdc-auth: Support a path to a priv key for "keyId" arg. Or a separate alternative arg. Copy this from imgapi.cliSigner. sign: cloudapi.cliSigner({ keyId: , user: , log: , }),
• the error reporting for a signing error sucks: getAccount: err { message: 'error signing request', code: 'Signing', exitStatus: 1 } e.g. when the KEY_ID is nonsense. Does imgapi's auth have better error reporting?
• how to add/exclude DCs?
• cmdln.js support for bash tab completion
• node-smartdc installs joyentcloud and warns about deprecation on stderr.
• bunyan logging setup:
  • one output stream to a file at trace level: /var/log/joyentcloud/$timestamp.log
  • periodically keep the number of those files down. This is hard. Do it at startup? Yah should be fine.
  • another "raw" stream to stderr at WARN at above (maybe INFO?) where we console.error just the minimal fields that we want to show joyentcloud: warn: $msg Not sure about other fields.
• plugin support, e.g. allow 3rd-party node-joyentcloud-foo npm modules that would add a "joyentcloud foo" subcmd. Reasonable?
• windows testing
