Hi folks,
Here is the detailed TODO in all it's glory. We _really_ need to get this over with, so please help us out to get this release out the door. I'll mark names by the tasks based on conversations I had with folks at WineConf (and on the list). If you notice any mistakes, please let me know. Items marked with (???) have no owner. If you think you can help on any of these (including ones that do have owners!), please let me know. Help is needed and appreciated. If it's not clear what needs to be done for any of these, get in touch with me, I'll be more than happy to help you get started.
Enjoy!

Dimi, I saw you asking about this on IRC - yes, I am working on this, no, no guarantees about timeframes. I have a prototype for a way that should fix it after Alexandres BSS hack and using linker scripts didn't come good.
- Version symbols in libwine & libwine_unicode (Alexandre)
It's probably worth rolling our own solution here, but I wasn't privy to these talks....

Sounds good. I'll mark you down on this task.

Alexandre said it should be fairly simple to do, especially first time around :) It gets a bit trickier later in that you have to be careful to do the versioning right, but nothing overly complicated.

GNU symbol versioning isn't so hard, but I've got an allergic reaction to iit :) My HO is that it doesn't work so well in glibc, so I can't see it working any better in Wine. If Alexandre means some other system then yeah, rock on.

C.1: worker: add me (Dimi) as well C.1: status: new/delete/rename key needed C.2: status: patch ready C.3: status: work has started
D.2: status: menu handle patch almost ready
E: I would include the entried for .spec and .reg files This way people know they are stable, no plans to change them
F: I would include entry for DLL separation I [DONE]
H.2: status: work has started H.3: status: work has started H.5: worker: Ivan
