That seems like a lot of extra work that should be unnecessary.

I asked before for general reactions, so I will now turn that into a formal proposal:

Let's move the TODO list to the wiki. Bruce still retains "ownership" of it
and will certainly be doing most of the editing. But people who work on
individual items can add/remove items and details as needed directly on the
wiki as necessary.

Those who still need daily updates can easily grab an RSS feed off the
wiki, or use the watch feature (disclaimer: I haven't used the watch
feature myself, but I'm told it should work).

Can we get a soundoff on this? Good idea, bad idea?

(if we decide to do it, we'll have to migrate what's there now, of course.
But I'm sure we can find volounteer(s) to help with that so Bruce doesn't
have to do all the work.)
