Abstract
I outline some of the main processes that shape planetary rings. Then I focus on two outstanding issues, the role of self-gravity in the precession of narrow rings and the dynamics of Neptune's arcs. By airing these well-defined but unsolved problems, I hope to encourage others to join me in the quest for their solutions.
