[Rivet] List of Rivet routines

[Jonathan Butterworth]

Hum.

Using the ticketing system was my idea. This is supposed to be a sort of 
to do list (at least in my understanding) so the ticketing seemed to be 
appropriate. They can reported as tasks rather than bugs, and there are 
then email notifications for people interested (can add themselves to 
the cc field) in a given routine etc. Plus we can use prioritisation, 
assign them to milestones/release etc etc.

For user documentation of analyses, I think doxygen comments should be 
used. I'd resist having a wiki page too, too many sources of 
(potentially inconsistent) info to maintain.

I was thinking a component like Emily suggests would be good, then we 
can set up a DB query which gives all analyses in progress or requested, 
with people assigned to them (if any) and progress/priority. And once 
they are written, the ticket could just refer people to the doxygen page.

Does that make you happier Andy?

Cheers,
Jon
