Hi John:
It's a reasonable idea and one that we're actually discussing right
now. There are related issues to consider which may take some time to
sort out but I would hope to have it all figured out in a month or so.
Will keep the list posted.

I'd like to be able to access Jira without logging in.
Such anonymous access would have limited privileges (for example only able to
view existing public issues).
I know such access has been requested before on this mailing list, but I don't
recall any response on why it has not been provided.
The benefits of anonymous access to Jira are:
1. Search engines can index the information in Jira.
2. Lower barrier of entry for casual users to view the state of issues in
Jira.
I don't really see any potential drawbacks to adding anonymous access to Jira.

John
