I really try not to interject my opinion into the TODO entry, though I
did in this case to try and make it more general, and messed it up.
Is there any valid TODO here?

I could put the URL in the TODO entry but it would be pretty ugly and
often the email thread rambles all over, so my summary is more a summary
of the conclusions.

I would like other developers to add/modify the todo list. The master
is the text file, and I generate the HTML so the web team can pull the
HTML for our web site. If you modify just the text file, I will see the
commit and update the HTML, and if you want my scripts, I can send them
out.

Also, if I post the summary of the TODO added (to the list and the
committers list), please comment if the item can be improved. I get
very little feedback on items I add, and I am not sure why.

A wiki seems like a change for the worse because instead of having a few
incorrect entries, we will have tons.
