-# Philosophy
+## Philosophy
 
-Nu draws inspiration from projects like PowerShell, functional programming languages, and modern CLI tools. Rather than thinking of files and services as raw streams of text, Nu looks at each input as something with structure. For example, when you list the contents of a directory, what you get back is a table of rows, where each row represents an item in that directory. These values can be piped through a series of steps, in a series of commands called a 'pipeline'.

-## Pipelines
+### Pipelines
 
-In Unix, it's common to pipe between commands to split up a sophisticated command over multiple steps. Nu takes this a step further and builds heavily on the idea of _pipelines_. Just as the Unix philosophy, Nu allows commands to output from stdout and read from stdin. Additionally, commands can output structured data (you can think of this as a third kind of stream). Commands that work in the pipeline fit into one of three categories:

 * Commands that consume the output of the pipeline (eg, `autoview`)
 
 Commands are separated by the pipe symbol (`|`) to denote a pipeline flowing left to right.

-To do so, use the `enter` command, which will allow you create a new "shell" and enter it at the specified path. You can toggle between this new shell and the original shell with the `p` (for previous) and `n` (for next), allowing you to navigate around a ring buffer of shells. Once you're done with a shell, you can `exit` it and remove it from the ring buffer.

 There are a few examples in the `plugins` directory.
 
-Plugins are binaries that are available in your path and follow a `nu_plugin_*` naming convention. These binaries interact with nu via a simple JSON-RPC protocol where the command identifies itself and passes along its configuration, which then makes it available for use. If the plugin is a filter, data streams to it one element at a time, and it can stream data back in return via stdin/stdout. If the plugin is a sink, it is given the full vector of final data and is given free reign over stdin/stdout to use as it pleases.

+Nu is in heavy development, and will naturally change as it matures and people use it.  The chart below isn't meant to be exhaustive, but rather helps give an idea for some of the areas of development and their relative completion:
 
-## Consuming commands
-| command | description |
-| ------------- | ------------- |
-| autoview | View the contents of the pipeline as a table or list |
-| binaryview | Autoview of binary data (optional feature) |
-| clip | Copy the contents of the pipeline to the copy/paste buffer (optional feature) |
-| save filename | Save the contents of the pipeline to a file |
-| table | View the contents of the pipeline as a table |
-| textview | Autoview of text data |
-| tree | View the contents of the pipeline as a tree (optional feature) |
+| Features | Not started | Prototype | MVP | Preview | Mature | Notes
+| -------- |:-----------:|:---------:|:---:|:-------:|:------:| -----
+| Aliases  |             |     X     |     |         |        | Initial implementation but lacks necessary features
+| Notebook |             |     X     |     |         |        | Initial jupyter support, but it loses state and lacks features
+| File ops |             |           |  X  |         |        | cp, mv, rm, mkdir have some support, but lacking others
+| Environment |          |     X     |     |         |        | Temporary environment, but no session-wide env variables
+| Shells   |             |     X     |     |         |        | Basic value and file shells, but no opt-in/opt-out for commands
+| Protocol |             |           |  X  |         |        | Streaming protocol is serviceable
+| Plugins  |             |     X     |     |         |        | Plugins work on one row at a time, lack batching and expression eval
+| Errors   |             |           |  X  |         |        | Error reporting works, but could use usability polish
+| Documentation |        |     X     |     |         |        | Book and related are barebones and lack task-based lessons
+| Paging   |             |     X     |     |         |        | Textview has paging, but we'd like paging for tables
+| Functions|      X      |           |     |         |        | No functions, yet, only aliases
+| Variables|      X      |           |     |         |        | Nu doesn't yet support variables
+| Completions |          |     X     |     |         |        | Completions are currently barebones, at best
+| Type-checking |        |     X     |     |         |        | Commands check basic types, but input/output isn't checked
