In keeping with your 'lets get something up on there to point the whiners at', how about adding this:
* Add support for RFC5837 to OpenBSD's IP stack. This could be suitable task since it presumably has 'cool factor' & is an easily definable task, and is not trivial to write. /Pete On 22. apr. 2010, at 01.51, Daniel Ouellet wrote: >> I simply requested the account on that persons system because I offered to >> help maintain the task list.

It add more work to the developers by asking them to send in stuff. They already have it done for some. So, why duplicate the list. It will just get out of sync and obsolete very soon. Plus they have a list, so I think the most logical and efficient way to do it would be just like this: > > 1. Name > > 2. Very short blurb for area the todo cover > > 3.

Frankly if a developer spend time making a todo list and publish it, then it must be some what maintain when ever they have time. Asking to add more management to track it and maintain yet an additional list is wrong in my book. Plus I am still not convince it's helpful, but never the less I would sure be welcome to be proven wrong. > > The only think that this gives me as an idea that may have some merit is that a list of user group might be good to have and I can add that to the site.

But again, I am not sure it's even good, but like I said, I am not oppose to. Like everyone else I have very little time and I didn't reply before, nor this morning to your email at 5:32AM when I saw it at 7:30 AM EST as I just finish an other project and I do need to get some sleep sometime as little as it might be and I have some kind of a life too and kids to take care of as well. > > So, sorry for the delay. > > Like I said, I am not doing a perfect job and I will admit that, but I try.
