Re: [LMMS-devel] TODO / version organization idea

[Paul G. <dr...@gm...>]

What I would like to see is NO TODO file.  Instead, let's move
everything to the tracker.  If the tracker doesn't let us setup
roadmaps and versions, then let's switch trackers.  SF.net provides
optional Mantis and Trak trackers now.

Just a thought.  A tracker system is designed for this stuff.  Have 4
diverged TODOs amongst several branches is not well fitted.  I think
TODO is reasonable only in experimental branches where you want to
make a note because you are half-way through implementing a feature.

Anyways, thanks for your effort Andy.  we needed it organized in any case.
