Hello,

I've added this to the 'savannah hacking ideas' page
( https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SavannahHackingIdeas/  item #32).

If there are volunteers who wish to implement this item,
please write to -email is unavailable- and we'll
be happy to assist.

For now I'm closing this item.

regards,
 - assaf

The updated date would also be good because of various efforts by other volunteers sending out reminders to developers to update their jobs.  Which has been happening.

Yes, I'll commit a change for that in the next week.

Thinking about this a little more.  Is there an "updated" date on each task item?  It might be better to display that because the project could "freshen" their items by updating them.  Potential volunteers would then have a sense of whether the items were stale or still relevant.

Hi,  I had a conversation with RMS the other day about the GNU task list at https://savannah.gnu.org/people/?type_id=1 .  He was concerned that potential volunteers would be discouraged when they saw the "Date Opened" field was way in the past for many of the items.  I agree, the task might still be relevant but it will look irrelevant if the "Date Opened" is too far in the past.

Would it be possible to remove the "Date Opened" field from the Help Wanted pages?

Thanks!
