The table of contents for the ToDo page (appended below) is presently  
70 items long and would require 20 sheets of paper to print. Any  
reorganization requires tedious cutting and pasting and still the  
overall cannot be easily grasped. Even if only a single person would  
look after it all, some tool to assist the prioritization and viewing  
is badly needed, and if more than one person would be intended to  
look after it... well... forget it.

Blueprints can hugely add manageability to ToDo items even while the  
wiki pages remain needed on which to maintain the specifications  
which do not live inside the Launchpad blueprint items anyway.

Whatever would be the item of interest, a simple click from within  
Launchpad Blueprint could take the person to whichever topic (or  
within-topic anchor) may be where the desired detail lives. This is  
evident in the 2 Blueprints (Mirth, Patient overview widget) which I  
created and which can be seen at
        https://blueprints.launchpad.net/gnumed

Blueprint attributes supported:

Status = Approved, Pending Approval, Review, Drafting, Discussion,  
New <default>,

Priority = Not, Undefined <default>, Low, Medium, High, Essential

Implementation status (Delivery) = Unknown <default>, Unstarted,  
Deferred, Needs infrastructure, Blocked, Started, Slow progress, Good  
progress, Beta available, Needs Code Review, Deployment, Implemented,  
Informational
