Re: How we track actions

To be clear, I was just outlining some of the the possibilities of using 
GitHub Projects as I see them, not expressing a preference. There are 
some concerns - eg how cognitively accessible they are given all the 
screen clutter on GitHub.

Tracker has significant advantages of a simple text based HTML UI and 
direct IRC integration. We also have a better possibility of 
enhancements as it's in house.
