Good idea ... but wasn't there something on ompi-dev list that suggested
'make -jN' was not supported for N>1 ?  Maybe I am imagining this -- we
should test this.

Otherwise by preference always to keep the bugcount at a strict minimum. I'd
put the TODO list into the SVN archive, with maybe a copy in the debian
wiki. But that's just me -- if everybody else thinks BTS is the way to go ...

|  - Support notest/nocheck in debian/rules (disabling test target):
|    - FIXME references
|    - AFAIK, consensus was reached
|    - not implemented in openmpi package
|  - Create a team webpage:
|    - Not listed in the wiki, we should have a team page there
|    - Options:
|      a) Create a homepage on Alioth and add a link in the wiki
|      b) Create a wiki page and use that as webpage

Can you send it here?  I stopped reading d-devel many moons ago...
