<div>Hi Everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.

<br><br>I just set up <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryTeamTODOPage">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryTeamTODOPage</a> and used<br>'CategoryTeamTODOPage' on <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TODO">
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TODO</a> and<br><a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/TODO">http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/TODO</a><br><br>If your team has a public TODO page, make sure to use the tage on it. If<br>you DON'T have a TODO page, be sure to create one. Also make
<br>sure<br> * it's up to date<br> * easily understandable<br> * lists easy tasks<br><br>There's a lot of new contributors asking what they can do to help out.<br>If you don't share your TODO lists, it's your own fault if you have to
<br>do your work all alone. :-)<br><br><br>A page worth looking at is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TODO - it<br>includes https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/WeeklyTODO which has a<br>neat table overview over what's going on. The color code is derived from
<br>the release schedule page<br><br>## ||<rowbgcolor="#CCFFCC"> This task is done || somebody || ||<br>## ||<rowbgcolor="#FFFFCC"> This task is assigned || somebody || <status> ||<br>
## ||<rowbgcolor="#FFEBBB"> This task isn't || ... || ||<br>## ||<rowbgcolor="#FFCCCC"> This task is blocked on something || somebody || <explanation> ||<br><br>With editmoin it's very easy to add new tasks to the bottom by
<br>having a small script like this one:<br><br>daniel@bert:~$ cat bin/desktopteam-add<br>echo "||<rowbgcolor=\"#FFEBBB\"> $1 || || ||" | EDITOR="cat >>" editmoin <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/WeeklyTODO">
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/WeeklyTODO</a><br>daniel@bert:~$<br><br><br>The MOTU TODO pages use a different concept derived from the Hug Day Bug<br>Lists, if you look at<br><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/TODO/Weekly/Bitesize?action=raw">
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/TODO/Weekly/Bitesize?action=raw</a> you'll<br>notice that the tool hugdaylist (in the ubuntu-dev-tools package) was<br>used to set it up. Calling<br><br>hugdaylist -n 15 "<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize&field.has_patch=">
