As a new contributor it would be very helpful to me to be able to see upcoming jobs that need doing, so that whenever I have a couple of hours spare I can just pick something up. As this is my first release cycle I find John's schedule a little too general at times - it would be great to have a more detailed list of subtasks.

back.  Here are a couple of problems it might help us solve:

Heck, if people want to keep notes on paper about what they are doing,
they'll still get work done.

My focus is on enabling other, new or returning people at
participating.

Whatever makes a visible task list with _visible_holes_ is my main
goal in this thinking.  If a wiki list is going to bitrot, then
something else.

Central task tracking also means, if someone has to disappear or gets
eaten by a raptor, we can help support them and the project with a
visible list of assigned tasks.

And, yeah, I don't dig bugzilla as a task tool, but it's great for
content bugs.  Trac is where you take 1 bug and generate N individual
work items for individual people.  Doing that in bugzilla is highly
sub-optimal and not trivial.
