Write the tasks including the owner, reporter and task details on the main www.freebsd.org page so its more obvious. And we can have code bounties too? Well, the announcement needs its own page, possibly the wiki. Then there would be a short mention on the main page pointing to that. Code bounties are a whole separate matter. For now, I think there are a lot of people who would be interested in just knowing the present status. And some of them would be motivated to get involved by such an announcement.help
