  * '''External Core''' (output only) is working again, thanks to Tim Chevalier.
 
-  * '''Haddock 2''' (see also #1964 (GHC.Prim), #2335 (build problem)).  ('''Ian''': a few days.)

     * Build it with GHC (maybe ship it with GHC too)
     * Documentation for GHC API done via Haddock 2
 
- * '''Unicode support for text I/O'''.  This means adding Unicode encoding/decoding for Text I/O handles.   ('''Simon M''': a few days work.)

    * Consensus was that Text I/O should always use the current locale encoding.  
    * You can elect to have no encoding by opening in binary mode, but that's all.
 
- * '''Extensible exceptions''', along the lines of Simon's paper [http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/papers/ext-exceptions.pdf "An Extensible Dynamically-Typed Hierarchy of Exceptions"].  This is mainly a library change.  ''Ian Lynagh'' is running a discussion, but we expect it to reach consensus in plenty of time for 6.10.

    * Performance penalty, but too small to measure
 
- * '''[wiki:Commentary/Compiler/NewCodeGen Back-end revamp]''' (see also #1501).  John Dias is in charge.  For 6.10 we will make sure that the whole existing path still exists, so we can choose at a late date whether to rely on the new path or not.
