I plan to write something, but I need help from a UX person. I want a simple taskboard, with bugs, that people can claim by a simple click. Then a simple karma type system. ByWater have signed off 10 Catalyst patches, Catalyst have signed off 5 software.coop and 1 Bywater patch, leaving Catalyst 4 patches to go ... kind of idea. It's not fully formed, but if it sounds like something people would to see, or explore further, let me know and I will devote some evenings to it.
