RE: [mylyn-dev] Checklists with Mylyn

["Mik Kersten" <mik@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding structuring local tasks, you will have the ability to ability to
make subtasks of local tasks once the next weekly build goes out.  

238498: enable local subtasks
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=238498 

Regarding linking them, so you could do something like making a freeform
checklist on a local task, it would be nice if we could support that.  The
problem is that we decided early on that having IDs for local subtasks was
overly complex, and haven't come up with a hyperlinking scheme that does not
rely on IDs.
