It is better, but to my eye, still not good. Prioritization can be handled via labels or milestones, but the lack of a simple, obvious attachment facility is a huge omission. As far as I know there is also no simple set of categories for closed status--maybe that would also be done with labels. (I'm not positive; I have not closed an item, and nothing happens when I click the "60 closed issues" tab, expecting to see the closed issues. Similarly, nothing happens when I click the "submitted" "updated", and "comments" buttons. Maybe all these things are bugs that show up if one does not have Firefox 4 or Chrome?) The automatic, compulsory, irrevocable Markdown parsing of all comments is a horrible design, and all the more so in the absence of file up/download facility. It's being used; I think we are stuck with it. I have no objection to getting the migration over with, if you have the machinery to do it, Dale.
