Hi!
Bevuta IT GmbH has kindly agreed to sponsor some work on CHICKEN and I suggest
to start on full unicode support in the core system, getting rid of
the current solution with a bolted-on utf8 egg.
This is certainly non-trivial, but necessary, as there have been numerous
requests by users in the past and the current solution is just too clunky
to be useful or efficient. Also, for better R7RS support a fully integrated
solution is preferable.
I have talked with sjamaan about this and collected some details of our
current proposal here:

If you have comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to share them here
or extend the wiki page.
