The Savannah project (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/savannah/, login
first!) page has no "todo" or "wishlist". These are the sections:

Main  | Homepage  | Files  | FAQ  | Support  | Mailing Lists  | CVS  |
Bugs  | Tasks  | Patches  | News

So... read the idea below.

I'll rather start reading and testing all of them. I think I'll should
get 'da feeling' of each one of them before even think of focusing on
just one of them.

And regarding the todolist/whishlist file, we should have one in the CVS
tree of the project, and kep one directory for each version. I believe
that Aldrin's one is the only one available there now, but I'm not sure
(ping Aldrin :-).

I was already looking into this. Here is the complete FAQ, for you to
enjoy:

        http://savannah.gnu.org/faq/export_html.php?group_id=11

There's some stuff to do with publickey ssh authentication. The ugly
part is that you find out ~6 hours laters if you set it up ok :-P
