Hi Dammina,

Great to hear from you. For quick reference here, the associated ticket
for bloodhound is https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/231

I believe your interpretation of the ticket is reasonable. What has been
stated so far is probably not a full specification for the problem so it
would be worth considering:

 * Permissions - who is appropriate for the button to be presented to
and who can use the button?
 * Intrusiveness - not all lists will need to be turned into tickets so
could there be means to determine this?

That is a shorter list than I thought I would come out with but feel
free to add to this, Dammina. As this would be your project, it might be
better if you try to answer those questions rather than getting us to
prescribe answers. This may be useful for strengthening your final
project proposal too.

Cheers,
    Gary
