Bruce,
What happens now is that someone says they want to work on X, and the
community tells them that Y might be working on it, and Y gives us a
status.
What happens now is:
A starts working on X.
3 months pass
B comes to hackers, spends hours reading the archives, doesn't find X
(because they know it by a different name), comes to -hackers and asks
"Is anyone working on X?"
B waits for 2 weeks without an answer and repeats the question.
Hackers E, F and G reply "yes, someone is but I don't remember who,
search the archives for keyword X"
I would bet, right about here we loose a whole lot of would be contributors.
Just the the questions I had about two todos this year was enough
basically give up on doing any work on them.
