+* sourceforge migration
+
+** Move CVS to sourceforge (estes) %%
+
+** test the mailing lists (estes) %%
+
+** inform GNU folks about changeover (estes) %%
+
+* resolve the items in the to.do directory
+
+** expand the above into individual requests and handle those requests
+
+** transfer to.do/Wishlist contents to top level TODO file
+
+* the manual:
+
+** do an end-to-end proofread of the manual (this is under way, but is
+   going slowly)
+
+** pretty up the dvi output; overflows, etc.
+
+** faq
+
+*** clean up the faqs section. The information is good; the texinfo
+   could use some touching up.
+
+*** index the faq entries
+
+*** mention that it's possible to use a variable to scan matching
+    brackets, nested comments etc.
+
+*** include something about lexing/parsing fortran
+
+** create a section on flex design, features, etc.
+
+* address lex-replacement: document or provide an option through
+   configure for creating lex and libl.a files (but remember this has
+   posix implications)
+
+* getext
+
+** make sure all flex modules use gettext translation facilities
+
+*subdirectories
+
+** in examples/manual, integrate the Makefile.examples into the
+    Makefile.am
+
+* test suite
+
+** integrate the test suite into automake's framework (note that the
+   test suite can be run from the top level directory with "make
+   check". Still, we want to get it completely under automake's control.)
+
+** make test suite more complete
+
+* generic coding
+
+** move as much skeleton code as possible out of gen.c and into
+  flex.skl
+
+** figure out whether we want to add the capability to have
+  auto-generated backout rules
+
+** token-type and token buffer support
+
+** check if we still need to #undef macros at the end of a header
+
+** merge yylineno into support for location tracking
+
+** bug where yylineno is not decremented on REJECT
+
+** bug where yylineno is counted in trailing context
+
+* C++
+
+** have a separate skeleton for c++
+
+** c++ is getting so broken and different from C, that we need to
+   reevaluate the usefuleness of c++ in flex
+
+** revisit the C++ API. We get requests to make it more complete.
+
+* distribution
+
+** use bootstrapper
+
+** remove texinfo.tex from the cvs tree; it only needs to be present
+   on the system where the flex release is put together
+
+** use clcommit to manage ChangeLog
+
+Legend:
+
+*, **, ***: outline depth
+%% at end of item: must be adressed before next major release
