We have the remaining tasks listed in
http://www.abisource.com/wiki/Windows_Unicode_Port. Marc and I really
want to fix most of these issues before the next release. Most of
these bugs are minor omissions. Hope we can get them fixed sooner.
Feel free to start work on any of those when you get some time. Please
let us know when you start working on a bug, via this list or over the
irc, to avoid two developers fixing the same bug.

Thank you.
Regards,
Pradeeban.
