I think there is a difference between tasks that have been assigned,
and which people are working on -- the current contents of tasks.text
-- and a list of issues to be resolved and things to think about
working on. I thought Rob was talking more about the latter. For
example, Rob's question about macros and modules could go in this
category. I think a top level TODO file would be a good place for
this sort of thing.
ok, i understand now.
well, from a project management standpoint, combining the two lists
(TODO and DOING/DONE) makes it easy and compelling to maintain both.
keeping separate lists introduces discrepencies and is just plain More
Work, which means maintenance drops off (this is our current state). i
figure we already have a file w/ the latter for developers, why not add
some TODO stuff there as well?
i can see some value in having a "distribution grade" top-level TODO
culled (to remove people's names and lump tasks, for example) at release
time from the more detailed devel/tasks.text. this particular spiffing
task could be added to RELEASE. how does that sound?
