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.
