+Core Treeview
+-------------
+
+Updating the front-end to work with the Core Treeview changes. Largely
+complete, the following items are either low priority (?) or waiting for
+other changes such as the toolbar widget re-implementation.
+
+This work is (at present) in the trunk.
+
+### Outstanding work
+
+-   Should the font used in treeviews be configurable?
+
+-   Textarea code should call the front end to render the caret. (Like
+    the form code.)
+
+-   Hotlist editing dialogues need to be reinstated, or all associated
+    templates and code need to be removed.
+
+-   URL Suggest Menu module may require re-implementation as a
+    stand-alone entity which collects URLs entered directly into the
+    address bar and Open URL dialogue, instead of relying on URLdb. Low
+    priority?
+
+Toolbar Update
+--------------
+
+Updating the toolbar implementation to break the component parts into
+stand-alone widgets. This will serve two main purposes: allowing some
+outstanding Core Treeview issues to be closed off cleanly, and allowing
+additional features to be added to the GUI without the risk of breaking
+the existing components.
+
+This work is underway in /branches/stevef/toolbars.
+
+### Niggles
+
+-   Toolbar menus shade unsupported widgets, instead of hiding them.
+
+-   Check and confirm the correct content types for
+    ro\_gui\_url\_bar\_set\_site\_favicon() to accept from the core.
+
+-   URL Completion needs to be migrated from the Window module towards
+    the Toolbar / URL Bar modules.
+
+### Further improvements
+
+-   "Unlimited" length URL field in URL Bar Widget.
+
+-   Tab Bar Widget.
+
+-   URL Suggest module could identify menu availability more
+    efficiently.
+
