Yes. See the 'Projects' section of leoPy.leo. This becomes the basis for the 'What's New in Leo' documents in LeoDocs.leo and on the web site. > > Case in point, 2 weeks from now I will forget that the name > of this cool feature is 'nodeActions', I will search my mail > guessing at keywords etc, find this email maybe quickly, > maybe slowly, maybe give up.

Plauger saying: "The only thing worse than no Standard (for C) would be two standards". Imo, any kind of "system" for tracking bugs, features, whatever, has the same defect. There *already is* a way of tracking what has been done, namely the entries I (or others) make in various .leo files. This way is natural, and better than any other way, because for this kind of thing the Leo way is best. I tolerate the bug tracker on launchpad because it allows others to provide bug reports without doing bzr commits. But I have absolutely no interest in duplicating the work that I already do in documenting what has been done recently. Each new official release contains a "What's New" section. I suspect few pay it much attention, but I do it because it would be strange not to do it. It doesn't take much work: the project entries remind me of everything that needs to be said.
