Author: rra Date: 2006-11-05 22:37:28 +0100 (Sun, 05 Nov 2006) New Revision: 760
Modified: trunk/private/TODO Log: Remove old items that were closed long ago. Move common code into the 1.24.0 goals list and add some additional thoughts about the overhaul of errors/warnings. Add some tag desc cleanup to untargetted goals. Add a separate list of things to do outside of lintian source (like get lintian.debian.org running again). Incorporates suggestions from Anthony Towns.
