I once considered working in the TODO and tasks lists into Savannah, but I
gave up because categorizing and working in the tasks is a lot of work. 
True, some categorizing is already in the files themselves, but then, some
things in the task/TODO lists are not well contained individual tasks but
either bugs or general principles, and often not even tasks for the Hurd,
but for the GNU system in general.

Of course, I only spent a couple of minutes before I gave up and did
something that I considered more productive (maybe it was watching TV or so :)
but in general, yes, we should use the task list, but if you talk about the
Hurd tasks, then we need to add them to the Hurd project (and we can't give
you access without giving access to CVS, which we probably don't want). ;-/

How about using the Savannah tasks for web related tasks to get a feel how
it works and what works best?

Note: Editing the CVS files is much easier for us then logging into savannah
and using the web interface.  Because we are lazy, we probably will stick to
it for now anyway.  But we definitely want to utilize Savannah more
(changing habits takes time though).

Thanks,
Marcus
