Thanks for even considering my thoughts!
So, when we started using RTM for task management, we all understood
it was likely a temporary solution. If there's something better, no
skin off my back if you choose to do that.
Keep in mind that:
- When we did manage the list in the wiki it was awkward. You have to
deal with tables, moving old ones off the list, etc.
- Reminders in RTM can happen automatically
- You should be running Tasky! There's a 1click install for openSUSE 10.3 [1]!
- When someone mentions an Action Item (AI) in a meeting, it's
extremely simple to create a new task in Tasky and not so easy to do
in a wiki
I would suggest that if there are features/oddities in RTM's web
interface, we give them feedback so they can fix it. Maw supposedly
has better connections with its original author--perhaps he can work
some magic there.
Tasky does have a lot of good momentum and having all of your feedback
(as users) would be most excellent in making it even better. But then
again, I'm pretty biased. :)
Cheers,
Boyd

A little but healthy discussion ensued today during our weekly GNOME team meeting about the continued use of RTM for managing our team tasks. While there were convincing arguments in favor of returning to the Wiki, there weren't much in favor of keeping RTM.
However, we were mindful of the fact that Boyd wasn't present at the time and any consensus-building wouldn't be fair without first hearing Boyd's arguments in favor of RTM. We're sure he has valid points.
To bring Boyd up to speed before he posts his statements and we all respond in kind (yes be kind!), here's a summary.of what was discussed.
- Some people feel its not comfortable to use - Some feel separating it out from the wiki isn't a good idea and everything should stay local - Some newcomers have pointed out the problem of having to get properly "accountified" whenever joining new groups or jobs. - RTM offers benefits that the Wiki doesn't, such as email notifications, etc. - Tasky may effectively resolve some of the confusing unweildy uses of RTM - (My additional thought) If we all get on Tasky, since its a new product, we're simultaneously offering ourselves as good testers of Tasky, thus killing two birds with one stone.
So... Thoughts? Discussions? Starting with Boyd please...
Thanks,
