There are a bunch of assumptions here that are wrong. Small tasks are the most fun to do because they satisfy the instant gratification needs all of us have. I won't give you my list of the "fun and easy stuff", I want to keep it to myself. The lists that are published will contain "dull, heavy and not very important" tasks. The kind that gets you burned out the quickest. Also, todo lists have been published in the past leading to either no reaction whatsoever or a bunch of people offering help and vampiring the energy from whoever published the list without leading to any code committed. It's easy to become slightly bitter about the whole thing after spending hundreds of hours helping people who then don't follow through when they realize that it actually requires work. //art
