How about creating a common TODO someplace (sourceforge?) and putting it
into CVS  ?
I know a few people have them (including myself), and a lot of them contain things
that could be good for a newcomer to kernel-hacking to cut their teeth on.

The reason for putting it in CVS would be merging of multiple peoples
TODO's, whilst allowing a lot more people to see them.

I foresee this could work out something like..

1. Someone checks out the TODO from CVS.
2. Picks something, mentions to the list "I'm about to tackle item 38"
   (In case someone else already is working on it, in which case pointing
   them to the relevant person may be advisable.
   A project admin with CVS write access maybe marks it in the TODO
   file ?).
3. After hacking fixups, the patch is sent here.
4. If the patch looks ok, its recommended to be sent to l-k/Linus/Alan.


Sound sensible ?

Davej.
