Both at package and distribution level.

The TODO is better than nothing... but Assembla is like FusionForge on steroids.

https://www.assembla.com/spaces/milestones/all/zsync-windows

We could have:
- One milestone for the next ACE version we are packaging
- One milestone for the next stable version of Debian
- One milestone that would never be reached ("No milestone" or "Sid")
which would get all the stuff that we know needs to be done in the
future but it's not clear when we will have time to do that

Then open tickets for all the stuff that it's wrong, needs enhacement,
etc, and assign those tickets to the relevant milestone (and of course
move them from milestone to milestone if they are not completed).

It's a bit difficult to explain on e-mail but it's essentially
applying agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, Scalable Agile) to Debian
packaging.

In fact, I've been tempted to move the packaging of Wt from pkg-witty
in Alioth to Assembla. The only reason I've not done that yet is I'm
the only one working on it and well, TODO and "my memory" are more or
less enough to keep me synchronized with myself :-)
