+** TODO re-implement helper functions from org-R
+Much of the power of org-R seems to be in it's helper functions for
+the quick graphing of tables.  Should we try to re-implement these
+functions on top of litorgy?
+
+I'm thinking this may be useful both to add features to litorgy-R and
+also to potentially suggest extensions of the framework.  For example
+one that comes to mind is the ability to treat a source-code block
+like a function which accepts arguments and returns results. Actually
+this can be it's own TODO (see [[* source blocks as functions][source blocks as functions]]).
+
+** TODO source blocks as functions
+
+Allow source code blocks to be called like functions, with arguments
+specified.  We are already able to call a source-code block and assign
+it's return result to a variable.  This would just add the ability to
+specify the values of the arguments to the source code block assuming
+any exist.  For an example see 
+
+** TODO figure out how to handle graphic output
+This is listed under [[* graphical output][graphical output]] in out objectives.
+
+How should this work for R?  For example how are files included with
+Sweave?  Would/Should we just mimic the behavior of Sweave with the
+addition of support for poping up graphics during live evaluation of a
+source code block.

 * COMMENT Commentary
 I'm seeing this as like commit notes, and a place for less formal
 communication of the goals of our changes.
