18 face name prefixes should be in it for good results.
22 ** Regenerate the postscript files of the reference cards in etc.
24 ** Ask maintainers of refcard translations to update them.
26 ** Check what should be deleted or updated in MORE.STUFF.
30 ** Make VC-over-Tramp work where possible, or at least fail

32 To be done by Andre Spiegel <spiegel@gnu.org>.
36 ** Update vhdl-mode.el based on changes in
37 http://opensource.ethz.ch/emacs/vhdl-mode.html.

55 From: Markus Gritsch <gritsch@iue.tuwien.ac.at>
57 the C++ header file which led to the problematic BROWSE file reads
69 class A : public test::Base
73 The *Tree* is then displayed as
80 The class A seems to be missing.
82 ** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors:

85 From: "Piet van Oostrum" <piet@cs.uu.nl>
86 To: emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org
87 Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback
91 C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/
93 The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
94 router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:
96 ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl
97 Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36...
98 ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host
99 Trying 192.87.102.36...
100 Connected to ftp.nluug.nl.
102 Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
105 I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
106 time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
110 ** Document Custom Themes.
112 ** Update man/info.texi.
114 ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
116 Policy document admin/notes/years must be updated before
117 making further progress on this task!!!

120 you're going to handle.
