I've been out of touch with the current C standards process.  
Is there currently work being done, what is the schedule? 
I have located an ftp site that appears to have current 
working papers but it doesn't mention any time lines.

Thanks,
Peter

There is indeed work being done on a revision of the current standard. 
There is an official web page under construction at
http://www.dknet.dk/JTC1/SC22/WG14/.

Unfortunately, most of the links on that page are dangling at the
moment, but one that isn't is ``papers'' which points to a mirror of the
official ftp site at ftp://ftp.dmk.com/DMK/sc22wg14.  At the FTP site,
under c9x/Revision-guidelines, you'll find a number of useful documents.
According to the Charter:

	The milestones for the revision process are:

	** CD Registration -- December 1996
	** CD Ballot -- December 1997
	** DIS Ballot -- December 1998
