Don't know anything more about it. It appears you can set up a web of tasks under a "subproject", with fields for who's assigned, percent complete, status, hours of work, priority, start & end dates, and a list of tasks each task depends on.

Well, it seems mildly useful... It's missing some things that would make it fairly useful (per-subtask and per-project todo-list, where you an say 'I need help with this' and such things, the ability to attach patches to subtasks (which would be useful for 'my' task of adding augmented assignment ;) and probably more) but I can imagine why SF didn't include all that (yet) -- it's a lot of work to do right, and I'm not sure if SF has much projects of the size that needs a project manager like this ;)

But unless Guido and the rest of the PyLab team want to keep an overview of what us overseas or at least other-state lazy bums are doing by trusting us to keep a webpage up to date rather than informing the mailing list, I don't think we'll see much use for it. If you do want such an overview, it might be useful. In which case I'll send out some RFE's on my wishes for the project manager ;)
