    I can take a stab at it.  Ping me in a couple of weeks just to keep me
    honest ;)

Coming up on the three-month anniversary of the original msg ... Any hope?

BTW, I realized today that my original msg was about showing only GNU
jobs.  That's still the primary thing to work on, but another aspect of
the same issue is showing *all* GNU jobs.  The goal is simple -- if
someone wants to help GNU, have one place for them to look.

Now, I think there are at least two places to look:
https://savannah.gnu.org/people/ and
https://savannah.gnu.org/people/?group=tasklist ...

Thanks,
Karl

Hi,

It's a matter of modifying 

www/people/index.php
and
www/includes/general.php

so that in addition to filtering by category, you can also filter by
one or more project type (GNU, www.gnu.org portion, etc.).
