[phobos] [dmd-internals] Planning software?

[Steve Schveighoffer]

Are we still going to use trello?  I set up a card for my current phobos activity.  Andrei noted that he's dropping it...

Just so I can voice my opinion, it has potential, and seeing as how Walter doesn't do much work on Phobos, do we need Walter's approval to use it for Phobos only?  If nothing else, I see it being a useful tool for managing the proposed improvements.  Every few weeks someone says "what's next for approval in phobos, anybody know?"  If there were a board to manage that, it would be useful.
