Hi Everyone, I'm passing the below message along to this group - I just thought it would be relevant to the wiki/documentation discussions that have been going on recently. I think that setting up a TODO page on our Xubuntu portion of the wiki would help us to quickly identify areas where people can contribute.

Forwarded Message From: Daniel Holbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Nov 29, 2007 4:05 AM Subject: Team TODO pages To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello everybody, I just set up https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryTeamTODOPage and used 'CategoryTeamTODOPage' on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TODO and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/TODO If your team has a public TODO page, make sure to use the tage on it. If you DON'T have a TODO page, be sure to create one. Also make sure * it's up to date * easily understandable * lists easy tasks There's a lot of new contributors asking what they can do to help out. If you don't share your TODO lists, it's your own fault if you have to do your work all alone. :-) A page worth looking at is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TODO - it includes https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/WeeklyTODO which has a neat table overview over what's going on. The color code is derived from the release schedule page ## ||<rowbgcolor="#CCFFCC"> This task is done || somebody || || ## ||<rowbgcolor="#FFFFCC"> This task is assigned || somebody || <status> || ## ||<rowbgcolor="#FFEBBB"> This task isn't || ... || || ## ||<rowbgcolor="#FFCCCC"> This task is blocked on something || somebody || <explanation> || With editmoin it's very easy to add new tasks to the bottom by having a small script like this one: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat bin/desktopteam-add echo "||<rowbgcolor=\"#FFEBBB\"> $1 || || ||" | EDITOR="cat >>" editmoin https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/WeeklyTODO [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ The MOTU TODO pages use a different concept derived from the Hug Day Bug Lists, if you look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/TODO/Weekly/Bitesize?action=raw you'll notice that the tool hugdaylist (in the ubuntu-dev-tools package) was used to set it up. Calling hugdaylist -n 15 " https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize&field.has_patch="; will give you a nice wiki list of 15 bitesize tasks that don't have patches attached yet. I added notes about how to organise the team at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/CreatingTeamGuide Let me know how it works out for you.
