I wrote this about tasks to initiate discussion, because I see more users coming in. They can be great reinforcement if they know what to do. The Tasks and Todo pages, are filled with complex tasks that must be crunched in smaller.
Why? 1) No one can expect that every user act as project manager, and split tasks in one evening portions, easy to accomplish. 2) It will make possible that everyone can see what is done, and what not, to prevent duplicate efforts.
Correct.
Wiki doesn't seem right form to do it and, besides, there is so much software developed for such purpose. It would be like inventing hot water, to write template, that will help to follow task execution.
I still vote for using bugzilla and put the Tasks list in the "Action Items" component.
We would need an "everybody@opensuse.org" dummy bugzilla account for this because items on the tasks page are defined as "not assigned to someone" and people (obviously) refuse to have something assigned to them in case it's not their job [1] ;-)
BTW: The inclusion of Bugzilla RSS in the wiki (discussed some time ago) is already implemented in the "Bugs this week" section of http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Novell_Forge (<getrss> tag) - I guess this could be included in *.opensuse.org (more or less) easily.

[1] "not my job" as in http://tinyurl.com/qdmt3 ;-))
:-D I've seen one "not my job" on my street today and drove carefully around. The bugzilla is what came in my mind, but I used it only once, and now when you mentioned it, it looks viable to communicate achievements, problems, time shortage, needs, exchange files, etc, that comes up during the task execution. The other problem who is going to develop project, who is going to manage it, is still kind of secret. At the present time I don't see many (sufficient) people that can dedicate time for large projects, so we need project management that works fine with loose groups like the wiki editors. That looks like I have to reread some chapters in: Producing Open Source Software, by Karl Fogel http://producingoss.com/ to come up with some ideas. -- Regards, Rajko.
