PATCH 1/1 TODO

You are right, this file is outdated. Many things have been implemented already. Now we use the TODO on the wiki, which is also outdated.

Should the TODO in CVS be updated with my patch, or removed altogether?

Current grub 2 development information is based on Wiki at the moment, please download notes from there. Once central place for the information is essential so there is even a chance that it is up-to-date.

But you also need a network connection to get the source. How is that different from the wiki? (you can retrieve offline copies of the wiki, too ;-))

Personally, I think it is easier to just point to another place, such as "Please look at this URL.", using the wiki (or an issue tracker, if you prefer).

Ok, I propose replacing it with:

Before working on improving GRUB, it's very important that you make contact with the core GRUB developers. Things herein might be slightly out of date or otherwise not easy to understand at first glance. So write to <[email protected]> first.

Our wiki also lists some areas that need work:
