Here, we provide a list of bugs and future development for TiRiFiC. Please do not hesitate to report bugs that are not listed below. If you want to shift the solution of an issue or some development plan up in our (hidden) priority list (because you need this thing working), do not hesitate to contact us, and we will see what we can do. Suggestions for future development are also welcome, if not found represented here.

| Output | Table output not confirmed | The TABLE= output has to be tested and to be confirmed. Currently, we do not know if the output is reliable. Most users, however, do not use this output to access fitted parameters, but the output default file with the parameter TIRDEF= |
| Output | Tiltogram output not confirmed | The TILT= tiltogram output is unreliable and needs to be revised and confirmed. |
| Output | Inclinogram output not confirmed | The INCLINO= inclinogram output is unreliable and needs to be revised and confirmed. |

| Output | Default file output to be refined | The TIRDEF= output is not faulty, but may be rearranged here and there. |
| Category | Short description | Description |
| Geometrical parameters | Higher order warp modes in spherical description | For heavily warped galaxies, the cylindrical description of higher-order warp modes might be insufficient, an alternative description might be welcome. |
| Geometrical parameters | True orbit ellipticity | An implementation of elliptical orbits is planned. |
| Geometrical parameters | Alternative parameter descriptions | An alternative description of the disk geometry might be necessary for low resolution objects. This is being investigated. |
| Fitting | Minimisers | The minimisation schemes in TiRiFiC are a known weakness. Therefore, implementation and testing of better minimisation algorithms has highest priority. |
| Fitting | Regularisation | The regularisation scheme provided for TiRiFiC does not deliver the desired results. Hence, alternatives are being investigated. |
| Fitting | Pipeline | Currently TiRiFiC is usable in a semi-automated way. A fully automated TiRiFiC pipeline is being developed in the scope of WNSHS and WALLABY, mainly by Peter Kamphuis. |
