Yeah - and/or a patch to TODO or the relevant TODO.detail (I can't see
why that is hard or onerous). Plus it is seen by a wide audience, some
of whom might not be tracking any wiki (very likely if there end up
being several wiki's....)

On that note, one nice feature of the current setup, is that the only
place you need to look is the TODO, which then (hopefully) points you to
a detail or url for more info. To have to check the TODO *and* the wiki
is just one more thing to forget IMHO.

Cheers
