I understand your concern (expanded in your other messages). Let's, 
however, not derail the discussion into a false choice. Yes, we do have 
tools we don't use. That doesn't mean we should stop looking at _other_ 
tools that may be more adequate tools for our needs.

So the proof that we don't use bugzilla votes or priorities does not 
prove e.g. trello.com would not be useful.

I think we have two good proposals. One is trello.com, the other is 
github's new tools. The github chain does not seem very mature, but 
integration and potential are definitely important.

Could you guys make trello.com accounts so we find each other there? 
Let's give it a whirl.


Thanks,

Andrei
