I mean these URLs and the appearances of “unicode” on the web pages they
represent:
<http://ctan.org/pkg/unicode>
<http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/unicode>

I’ll probably do so within the next days.
By the way, I’ve changed a few things to accommodate for the upcoming
name change:
• The name “ucs” is now consistently used in the package’s
documentation.
• The distribution file that is produced by the makefile is now
called “ucs.tar.gz” instead of “unicode.tar.gz”.
• The FAQ entry that used to explain the naming inconsistency now
mentions the name change and explains the rationale behind it.
• The URL of the source code repository is now
<http://darcs.wolfgang.jeltsch.info/tex/ucs/> .
• The URL of the package’s homepage is now
<http://wolfgang.jeltsch.info/software/tex/ucs> .
A redirect from the old URL is in place.
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
