C-h C-t should show the TODO

C-h C-t should show the TODO

[D. Goel]

Dear folks at g.e.bug

(I was impressed by the debian's organization of 'project-help wanted'
page..  http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ -- and the fact that it is
easily accessible from www.debian.org).  I am slowly working on
creating a similar page for Emacs--should this essentially link to the
Emacs TODO ?  And will try to put it up at a conspicuous website like
http://www.emacs.org.)

In the meanwhile, i had to do a lot of juggling to locate the TODO
file for emacs on my unix-box.  

[1] I was thinking that just as C-h C-n displays news, C-h C-t ought to
display this TODO page..   easy accessibility means: more people read
this.. means: more people contribute. 

[2] I was wondering if it would make sense to include something like
this at the beginning of TODO file--->

"Your interest in helping accomplish any of the following is very
welcome, please inform emacs-devel@gnu.org of what you are working
on.  That will help us make the best use of your efforts efforts and
avoid duplication of work--->"


[3] once again, i was really impressed by the way debian classifies
packages as
'up-for-adoption'/obsolete/orphaned/being-worked-upon-and-need-help
etc.

on this page:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

and was wondering if TODO can include more such info or weblink or an
info-link to some file called PACKAGES or some such.

Thanks for these suggestions.  The concept of "abandoned" does not
really apply to packages within Emacs, but the other ideas seem
useful.
