TODO annotated for difficulty

TODO annotated for difficulty

[Ingo Schwarze]

Hi,

now and again, people have expressed interest to contribute patches.
One obstacle for doing so probably is to find tasks that one might
be able to tackle.  So i'd like to briefly announce that i just
added rough difficulty estimates to most of the talks in TODO.
Beginners should take any (**) annotation seriously, and anything
having any (***) annotation is likely challenging even for experienced
mandoc developers.  Bear in mind that i often fix trivial stuff
right away, so don't be surprised if even (*) stuff turns out to
require a bit of work.

In case you want to work on any patches, feel free to ask for
specific advice about specific issues on tech@.

Since there was noticable traffic regarding bug reports lately and
since a few people have unsubscribed, i have slightly tweaked the
instructions on http://mdocml.bsd.lv/contact.html what to post
where.  It now reads:

  discuss
    Post important bug-reports that are likely to affect many users
    and general questions to this list.

  tech
    Post source code patches and minor bug reports to this list.

The idea is to reduce traffic and improve the signal-to-noise ratio
on this list for users who do not intend to hack on the code.

Yours,
  Ingo
