Since what gets developed at ASF is basically the engine -- I'd assume that multiple different UIs would be possible. Hence it seems to me that a more natural relationship would be the other way around: folks working on Mifos point at ASF JIRA, etc. Btw, does Mifos have a publicly available, developer friendly tracker and wiki infrastructure?
