+* Internationalization
+** updatedb.sh should be internationalized
+
+* man pages for frcode, bigram, and code
+Perhaps a better description in texi pages as well.
+
+* Add option for find to sort output in lexical order for use for updatedb
+olarsac@airfrance.fr (Olivier) made the following suggestion:
+
+As I was running thru the code looking for the bug I wondered why the updatedb
+has to use sort...
+why not add an option to find that sorts the output in lexical order?
+my point is:
+- sort on a big list is costly (here we do locate on big big file system)
+- find may (in theory) sort incrementally very easily by sorting only the current
+directory entries before recursion
+
+* Include example of use of updatedb in documentation.
+Use something close to the Debian daily cron job.
+
+* Supply example for time range commands for find.
+
+* Test Coverage improvements
