+Bitcoin-qt: Qt4 based GUI replacement for Bitcoin
+=================================================
+
+**Warning** **Warning** **Warning**
+Pre-alpha stuff! Developer only!
+
+This has been implemented:
+
+- qmake / QtCreator project (.pro)
+
+- All dialogs (main GUI, address book, send coins) and menus
+
+- Taskbar icon/menu
+
+- GUI only functionality (copy to clipboard, select address, address/transaction filter proxys)
+
+- Bitcoin core is made compatible with Qt4, and linked against
+
+- Send coins dialog: address and input validation
+
+- Address book and transactions views
+
+This has to be done:
+
+- Further integration of bitcoin core, so that it can actually connect
+  to the network, send commands and get feedback
+
+- Address book and transactions models: so that 
+  something sensible is shown instead of dummy data :)
+
+- Internationalization (convert WX language files)
+
+- Build on Windows

-Done:
-
-To be able to make an external GUI, I am working on modularizing bitcoin into a library. This is basic code
-plumbing, 100% no functional changes.
-
-- Put guard statements around header files.
-
-- Removed macro foreach: conflicts with Qt4 keyword `foreach`, replaced with BOOST_FOREACH.
-
-- Prefix stdlib structures and functions with std:: in headers; "using namespace" in header files is
-   generally frowned upon. These are moved to the implementation files.
-
-- Modularity: base48.h and most other header files can now be included without the other shebang
-   (useful for linking external GUI to bitcoin core, part of GUI separation).
-  The include files that need each other now include each other.
-
-
-Todo:
-
-- Repeated in all files?
-#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS // to enable UINT64_MAX from stdint.h
-#include "main.h"
-#ifndef GUI
-#include "noui.h"
-#endif
-
-- Check windows support / cross platform
