Hi Brian,

Reworking the TODO list was my action item from last month's meeting.  I
have made some small updates in the last two weeks.  I also developed a
project proposal template that I intended to use as the basis to
reformulate much of the content on the TODO page.

I am awaiting feedback from Holger and/or Raphael on the project
proposal template.  Once they have provided feedback then restructuring
the TODO content can be handled within that framework fairly easily (I
think).

Regards,

-Roberto
