Yeah, that's much cleaner than what we have now, I agree. About donjon, there was a discussion about migrating back to Jira: http://groups.google.com/group/castle-project-devel/browse_thread/thread/e16f1a497821a707/6cfcf3a7c432ab44 http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg07514.html http://groups.google.com/group/castle-project-devel/browse_thread/thread/4f0f69a2f6bafa40/d6abf5d971c0bc87
but it failed for some reason (I didn't follow that thread very closely) With the ad I was trying to get new users. Some (very few) of those users might eventually become developers. Can you copy your message to a new uservoice suggestion? Otherwise this will be lost and forgotten.
