Not as difficult as it was to implement the technical achievements of GNUstep; so it's possible. Sure, it's not as fun as writing the code, but it's necessary for the project to continue existing and for new developers to create software using GNUstep. >> A markdown file on GitHub is enough for me, though something a >> little more advanced could help us be more efficient. > I think for tracking we should use some collaboratively editable > bullet list, which should probably be either a GitHub wiki or > something on MediaWiki. Isn't a GitHub wiki essentially a markdown file? The only value I see of using something more complex than that is if we could tag tasks by priority, assignee, status, etc., similar to the tasks already in Savannah[1] (although, it doesn't look active any more). I know GitHub has a Projects feature, but I've never used it. [1]: https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?group_id=99 [2]: https://github.com/features/issues -- Luke Lollard
