tlug: Task Checkout List Program Needed

[Craig Oda <craigoda@example.com>]

Hi,
we may need some type of program to keep track of tasks for both
the server config and the Perl Journal Japan list of articles.

What I was thinking was an interface to upload lists of to do tasks
or articles and another interface to check off an article or
task that a person found interesting.  The task check-out would
be timestamped with the person's name.  

Example:

  1)  Secure server
      who's doing: Chris Sekiya, Bruce Howard
      volunteers needed:  yes
      status: ongoing
  
  2)  Add Digest
      who: Jonathan Byrne
      started: March 19
      volunteers needed:  maybe
      status: just getting started

Examples of TPJ stuff

   1) System Admin Tasks with Perl
      who: Yurie Horita
      started: March 20
   


What I was thinking was for the list to be created on the fly
from flat text files parsed by Perl CGI.

If someone wants to give it a try, it might be fun.

If no one is going to try it, I'll probably try it using
a Java servlet with mod_jserv of Apache and ODI's PSE
ObjectStore object database.  Just for the challenge
of it.  However, I think the TPJ should use a Perl script.  ;-)
My other idea is to use guile to make the lists.  

Regards,
Craig
