5. Handling issues between jira/github

The installation of the TaskTop product is still in progress and is needing some scripts to keep in sync the issue between jira/github.

At this moment, we are manually keeping in sync the issue between GitHub and Jira. We handle the way from Jira to GitHub with a tool. And issues are manually ported from GitHub to Jira after having confirmation from Support.

We are expecting script and use of TaskTop tool later this week, after the work from Dmitry;

For the upcoming sprint, the priorities have been emphased:

• any kind of bugs that prevent to release 4.0.0
• any features from 4.0.0 backlog not yet planned/done in current sprints
• work on 4.1.0 requirements

7. Others
