[Mono-list] I'm Confused... when is a class really 'Completed'?

[John Duncan]

Yeah, I've been wondering about this too. I think, for the most part,  
that the info is correct, but it is obviously a maintenance problem.  
That being said, shouldn't completion be calculated against functional  
tests, rather than the number of [MonoTODO] attributes?
