I have another idea. Maybe this will be more doable:
All the tasks are placed in the same HTML page, but at the top of the page there is a web form, like so:
* Difficulty: [ Any | High | Medium | Low ]
* Commitment: [ Any | High | Medium | Low ]
* Skill required: [ Any | C++/C | Java | ... ]
* Time needed: [ Any | 1 week | 1 month | ... ]
* Component: [ Any | Writer | Calc | ... ]
As the user selects items from here, a Javascript program removes the entries that no longer fit the selection criteria.
Of course, it requires each task to be inside a <div> tag with some set of keywords. Simplest way to do that is to put the keywords in the 'id' attribute. For example:
<div id="writer__difficulty-high__commitment-low__skill-C__time-1week" >
...
</div>
How does that sound?
this look for me overcomplicated.
on the current page (http://development.openoffice.org/todo.html) items are already grouped by component. i believe adding a few simple improvements can make the page OK:
- sort tasks by difficulty inside each component;
- add, as you suggested, the skills needed;
- add a content table at the beginning of the page for quick navigation to the desired component.
what i found confusing in the To-Do page is the menu on the right of the page. i know it is the standard menu for entire development.OOo subdomain, but on this particular page is just confusing. for example, it contains a category 'By Task'. my first impulse was to think it will direct me to To-Do items grouped by task, not to documentation about development grouped by task.
