Hi all,

Our migration to our new, improved JIRA Workflow is now complete!

So, DSpace JIRA now uses the new workflow diagrammed on this page:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/JIRA+Workflow+Improvements

After the migration, I was able to automate the cleanup of some tickets.

However, we currently have a "Received" backlog of 302 tickets (which 
are a mixture of old, possibly obsolete tickets & brand new ones).

https://jira.duraspace.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+DS+AND+status+%3D+Received+ORDER+BY+key+ASC%2C+priority+DESC

As mentioned, this is the JIRA backlog we'll need to dig through 
manually little-by-little.  I'll start this discussion with the 
Committers at tomorrow's IRC DSpace Developer Meeting (at 20:00UTC in 
#duraspace IRC if anyone wishes to join).

- Tim
