+ Open items -- Need to be resolved before 2.0b1 release
+ 
+     Add popen2 support for Linux -- Fred Drake
+ 
+     Get all patches out of Open.
+ 
+     Get all patches out of Accepted.
+ 
+     Fix bug 112558
+     https://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=112558&group_id=5470
+ 
+     Fix all other bugs with priority 7 or higher
+ 
+     Review performance and frequency of garbage collection scans.
+ 
+     Decide on a license.
+ 
+     Windows installer:  If HKLM isn't writable, back off to HKCU (so
+     Python can be installed on NT & 2000 without admin privileges).
+ 
+     Windows installer:  Install w9xpopen.exe only under Win95/98.
+ 
+     Windows ME:  Don't know anything about it.  Will the installer
+     even run?  Does it need the w9xpopen hack?
+ 
+ Open items -- Need to be resolved before 2.0 final release
+ 
+     Update Tools/compiler so that it is compatible with list
+     comprehensions, import as, and any other new language features. 
+ 
+     Improve code coverage of test suite.
+ 
+     Decide on a license.
+ 
+     Finish writing the PEPs for the features that went out with
+     2.0b1(! sad, but realistic -- we'll get better with practice).
+ 
+     Major effort to whittle the bug database down to size.  I've (tim)
+     seen this before: if you can keep all the open bugs fitting on one
+     screen, people will generally keep it that way.  But let it
+     slobber over a screen for a month, & it just goes to hell (no
+     "visible progress" indeed!).
+ 
+ Accepted and in progress
+ 
+     * PyErr_Format - Fredrik Lundh
+       Make this function safe from buffer overflows.
+ 
+     * Change meaning of \x escapes - PEP 223 - Fredrik Lundh
+ 
+     * Add \U1234678 escapes in u"" strings - Fredrik Lundh
+ 
+     * Integrated gettext module - Barry Warsaw
+       wrapper around standard internationalization libraries
+ 
+ Open: proposed but not accepted or rejected
+ 
+     * Extended slicing on lists - Michael Hudson
+       Make lists (and other builtin types) handle extended slices.
+ 
+     * Problems reported with Tkinter, Tk 8.3.2, and Unicode (?)
+
