Hi Eric,

A roadmap, yes! that's the word I was looking for.

Thank you, very interesting.
I always wondered why there are multiple select method variables (as
~gnus-secondary-select-methods~), instead of one ~gnus-select-methods~.

I see there are plenty of things to simplify, such as group
reading/selection. Also i think, jumping to an article should be easier
and more stable.
