+# list of quick TODO tasks
+
+this is temporary, frequently-updated, list of quick TODO that
+don't warrant a 'Task' in itself.
+Once done, move the task description to the 'Past Tasks' section
+
+
+## Up-to-date Tasks list
+
+In no particular order, they just need to be done:
+
+  * A) each build_XXX build directory is generating its own build_XXX/src/generated/* assets and code.
+       This is wrong and error-prone. There should be one source of truth
+       for the generated assets/data/code at the top of the tree, under a common
+       src/generated/ directory. Adapt all the code for that. Pay attention
+       to tests (test_assets, e.g.) that *also* generate assets. They must§
+       generate them in a throw-away directory.
+
+  * B) make a pass of 'vertical compaction' for the code: there's a lot of
+    superfluous '\n' empty lines in the code that shouldn't be here.
+    Remove them to have a vertically more dense code. Use clang-format if needed.
+
+  * C) add a top-level @README.md file with a short description of the
+    project for new-comers, a one-line description of each .md files, and
+    a quick layout and description of the source tree.
+
+## Past Tasks

+The past TODO are already done (stored here for archiving):
