I was thinking of setting up trac to send a notice to a mailing list for each new issue. Then people interested in this effort can follow this list and help out. Is this possible? Can someone familiar with the trac set up comment? IMHO, distributing work day by day, or weekly is still putting too much load on one person. It should be enough if someone contributes to one issue per day. Perhaps we should come up with a locking mechanism, to prevent two different people from trying to sort the same issue at the same time, but it feels like too much organization at the beginning.
