In my town hall report I mentioned that jira seems to be the new way to do everything. Vote for new features, report bugs and all the rest. JIra is still in beta, and may or may not be stable in your browser, it crashed mine twice, but did eventually work.
I was going to cruise though and write a report, but This blog entry by Nobody Fugazi beat me to the punch and is way funnier than what I'd have written. Some of what he describes I didn't look at - I knew where Jira was and didn't bother trying to find out how easy it was to find (hard it appears), but the description of trying to find your away around and actually do things... spot on. If jira is really meant to take over bug reporting and feature voting, there's still a way to go in making the interface user friendly. And, Nobody, can I have my femur back please?!
1. Nobody's blog seems to be broken at the moment.
