well, but it won't be too difficult to separate TODO stuff into modules, and then

in sub-modules, and then in small tasks, and all of this added to
bugzilla. What could be really useful is to have some bugzilla queries
available in a web page, so that users just follow the links there,
instead of having to use bugzilla directly.

Something similar is what we intend to do in the GNOME-DB site
(http://www.gnome-db.org/dev/index.php - hmm, sorry, it's quite ugly
right now and not finished), where we want to integrate the list of
bugzilla items related with GNOME-DB in that page, so that people just
have to follow the link, and have all information needed to start
working on that specific item.

Something of this kind could be very useful IMO.

cheers
