i like this idea, it should be implemented somehow in a file, which is 
somewhere in the source directory, so it could be used as a kind of "poor 
mans" project management, even when some people work on the same stuff in 
cvs.
it should be taken care of, that the file format of that file is in such a 
format, that there can't be any cvs collisions in that file, when two people 
are working on it...
at the same time it should still be as human-readable as possible, so that it 
can easily replace the function of the actual TODO files all over the kde 
sources.
perhaps even have different priorities.

so you could simply open any kde sources, say kate or so, and the todo items 
would show you, that this and that and that would need help. that would be 
really cool ;-)

i think this should be implemented as a programming-language-independent 
plugin, as it would work for any text files, be it c++ sources, shell 
scripts, whatever.

it would be best, if most of the information would be in a file called 
TODO.kdevelop, which resides in the sources main dir, and in the source 
files, there are some "tags" like // TODO 42 , which mark the line, which the 
todo item belongs to, so that we don't introduce the same problems as with 
debugger breakpoints here.
this way the tag moves down in the file, as it should, when somebody adds 
stuff above the tag in the file.
so most of the plugin will be language-independent, and only the part, which 
inserts the tag into the source, has to know, how valid comments are looking 
in different languages.


just some ideas, hope this helps, Holger
