In the past we used to keep a running textual list that got posted on a 
~weekly basis to the WG.  It was formatted like (minor edits applied):

This is a list of action items for the CALSCH Working Group.
This list will be sent out once a week and updated as often
as practical (That means if I am not available it may take
an extra week or two before you see your changes).

Updates should be sent to mailto:[email protected].

There are two parts to this list:

                 (W) Working group action items.
                 (C) CAP editor action items.

Each action item will be assigned a unique ID that will aid in
tracking the items.

                                                 Working Group Action 
Items 

Where Resolution is one of:

                 U - undecided.
                 Y - Chair determined consensus is in favor of the 
proposal.
                 N - Chair determined consensus is NOT in favor of the 
proposal.
                 D - Dropped. Chair has decided that it may never reach 
consensus.

 The following are a list of issues/proposals and their status in the WG:
 
 WG Action Item                                             Resolution
 --------------                                             ----------

 W-1 CAP Use HTTP as transport                                   N
 
 W-2 CAP If all booked and scheduled                             Y
     appointments are in same table
 
 W-3 CAP Use SASL as authentication method                       Y
 
Instead of taking the time to learn bugzilla, why not just adopt a textual 
posting format similar to this one for now?  That way not everyone has to 
learn bugzilla just to see what the issues are and it saves us cycles we 
may not have for working on the technical issues.

(Im not sure we need to have the CAP Editor action items in the general WG 
list but maybe we do since we no longer have multiple draft editors and 
the WG never really discussed those AIs anyway...)
