Fedora task list manager

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

We currently maintain several task lists and agenda times within the 
wiki. This however seems a job thats better done by some sort of a web 
based task list manager that allows you to set milestones, status, owner 
etc. Anyone have ideas on what would be more efficient?

Some of the task lists for a example of the current method we have been 
following to do this.

Yes, I'd like to see this in a tasklist-based application of some sort.  
That gives us a bunch of wins -- but it also incurs some overhead.

I'd love to see some examples of high-value, low-overhead alternatives.

Although normally, I'm in favor of improving tools, I try to pay
attention when I get internal warnings such as these:

* If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

* If it's easy enough as-is, don't make it more complex without an
extremely clear benefit.

These jumped to my stomach immediately, so here is the benefit of my
instinct on the matter.

The project manager in me says that this is pretty far down the list of
infrastructure work that needs to be done.  We have at least a dozen
projects that have minimal functionality I'd like to see improved before
I'd like to see YAWeb-based project management tool.

_If_ we were to roll out a larger project management infrastructure to
manage the whole project, and were to roll up all project committee's
task lists into it, that would possible be worth it.  But only if we had
some people who were committed to using the PM software in a proper
fashion.  I'm not interested in more tools that won't be used.
