better targets for task/note-annotations on website
I really like how the new website is functioning and it seems a slick way to bring in users and developers both into engaging with Inkscape!
I've seen a number of text notes appearing on page content which seem to be reminders for tasks or content-to-come. I'm really glad for the diversity of contributors on the site, but as notes/tasks/needs are published on the site (rather than actual useful content itself) I'd like to see an alternative destination established before these notes sit out there too long on our live site.
For example, http://inkscape.org/en/download/windows/ contains the line at the top "[[website TODO : pretty buttons showing main download link, + maybe screenshots of the installer.]]" This is a useful reminder to the website author-community, but not text that should reside on the live site.
Would a better action be to move these annotations into the launchpad templates/bugs area, or can the web CMS handle notes in the backend for the developers only?
Thanks,
--Jared

It would. And in fact there might be a way to check the content for such notes:
wget http://www.inkscape.org/media/content.json.gz gunzip content.json.gz json-pretty < content.json > pretty-content.json
grep TODO pretty-content.json
You can check for other things and it could be used to check for translation coverage too. Note that these tools haven't been written so it's up to bashists and pythonistas to use the site's cms data provided in the json format to discover things that will help us manage the site. Awesome scripts should be added to the utils directory for the site.

I agree. It's so much better. It's a shame the animals don't animate though.
