GreenHopper?

[Oliver Heyer]

Hi, Peter,

We are now starting to take a serious look at Greenhopper for the Image 
Gallery project, having installed it on UCB's local instance of JIRA. Up 
until now, we've used a combination of the Sakai and Fluid JIRAs. I'd 
prefer that we not spread things out further. It sounds like the 
drawbacks you cite below are not dealbreakers, especially for a contrib 
project. Any chance you'd be willing to install Greenhopper within the 
next week or so, if we decide to adopt it for the project?
