As for "merlin-facilities", that's a good question. We're going to have more and more merlin specific extensions and I'm not sure where they belong in CVS, let alone JIRA. > > And an avalon-sandbox could be useful as well, no? I thought about that one. I suppose it could very useful as a tool to help projects move out of the sandbox properly. I did add a spot for Avalon# and Merlin-Developer. Point is, we'll have a better idea how to organize JIRA once we actually start using it. So let's figure out a small set of projects that we know we will use properly and if we need to add more, we can. > One more thing; Users typically don't have a clue where a problem is, so > unless you can enter issues under the "group" we would need some "General" > categories as well. I worry about issues getting lost/ignored in such a case, or general abuse of such a setup. Users will probably gravitate to the container they are using since that is generally the "point of contact". If there were any uncertainty, that's the place it could be entered first. J.
