Promo/Old/Tasks

From KDE Community Wiki
Revision as of 08:17, 25 November 2009 by Jospoortvliet (talk | contribs) (adding a list of things to add to discuss & turn into todo on top)

The goal of this page is to have a list of tasks and associated names(!) to track what we still have to do.

The page starts with a list of topics which still have to be added to the task list. Some of these have a list of tasks somewhere already, others have to be discussed. A few are of more strategic level, others are very practical.

Once a task is done, put it at the top & mark it as done. In time we'll clean them up. Feel free to pick up tasks which have no associated name (but announce/discuss on promo, you might get pointers there as well).

(I'm not good at tables so I'll use plaintext. Feel free to fix that.)
