Jira

One week from now Jira will go live (http://tickets.openmrs.org). The trac tickets will be ported over and all new tickets and ticket editing will happen on jira. Links to dev.openmrs.org will forward to the right tickets. More information on the dev list.

1.7 update

We now have 11 tickets outstanding. They will probably be done by next week's alpha release date.

A few bug fixes can be put off and fixed before the 1.7 beta release.

TODO

Sy will send an email to the dev list about getting some help with a few pending comments.
