- The late great Ty Halderman kindly sent me a boxed copy of Final Doom in 1996, but I never got around to playing it until now. :)
- While I do own boxed copies of Hexen and Strife, I never got around to playing more than their demos. I did however complete Heretic: SotSR.
- Boxed copies of Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil, and a digital copy of The Lost Mission, were also completed.
- ✓Analyze and improve map views images
- ✓Create the DMMPST map statistics tool to generate wiki-ready mapdata, things and map skel structures, as well as thing appearance statistics
- ✓Operate the XymphBot account to automatically and ongoingly:
- update Statistics sections of map pages and add new map skeletons via the dmmpstBot script
- upload map view images via uploadmapBot and add them to map pages via mapviewBot
- add author(s) and their level categories to map skeletons via authorBot, par times via partimeBot, links to demo sites via demolinkBot, and extra monsters/equipment categories via extraCoopBot

- ✓Collect statistics of built-in and included demos via the LmpStats library and add them to the pertaining PWAD pages via the builtinDemos script
- ✓Add or update (as appropriate) data tables for Things in Doom, Heretic, Hexen & Strife, using tools compiled against each game's INFO.C file to extract relevant information directly from the engine's data tables [imaginatively titled DMINFO, HTINFO, HXINFO & SFINFO] (talk, talk)
- Try and figure out if a GIMP script can automate placing map spots as much as possible
