Can you open a projects board here on github, or Zen hub integration, so issues/tasks and progress can be easily seen by contributors, it helps see what is in progress, what is backlogged etc

[MCWertGaming]

Sure! I'm planing on moving all tasks to a GitHub projects board. Will get to that after this project is ready for public contributions. We have to do some clean up and want to move to another Terminal library to support things like themes before that.
