Task Lists are open source

GitHub is open-sourcing the components behind its task lists, offering the HTML rendering pipeline filter as a Gem and JavaScript update behaviors as a Bower package. Since their introduction, task lists have been extended to support Gist and Markdown files in repositories, aided the White House in public domain code initiatives, and allowed waffle.io to integrate with GitHub Issues' task lists. This move anticipates further innovative developments from the community using these open-sourced components.
