Renaming the list is certainly an idea that I could get behind, though I
agree with Chris that we could keep it a bit more positive. I also
agree that the TODO list tends towards projects that are stuck and hard,
which is why I actually think it wouldn't be that hard to go through and
mark the really hard things as really hard or even create an independent
page for them as I suggested elsewhere on this thread, because (at least
from my perception of it- which could be wrong) the overall list
doesn't actually change that much (see above wrt "stuck, hard and
abandoned" comment). If we could see our way forward to really making
it clear that these things are stuck, hard or abandoned then maybe we
can make room for new projects to go on the list that are of reasonable
size for newcomers to the project.
Thanks!
