Description [edit section]

= Description =
There are several deficiencies in the Fuego issues list, which make it
uncomfortable or inconvenient to use:
 * it is slow.  It takes a second or two to load every page
   * the index page takes about 2.7 seconds to load
 * It is hard to figure out how to query the issues
 * there is no 'assigned' field (but there aren't really people to assign things to)
 * tbwiki doesn't support concurrent operations, so there's the possibility of data corruption
 * the form is raw text, and people can mess up the values for fields that should be enumerated types
   * more specifically, we're not using enumerated types for some fields that should have them - (tbwiki has some support for this, but we're not using it)
 * it is possible to use tbwiki to filter the issues, but it is very awkward, and there is no form to do it.
 * there's no way to keep a log of comments on an issue

With enough problems, it becomes very unpleasant to use the issues list.  It should be
helping keep track of issues that need to be resolved, but it is not.

Notes [edit section]

= Notes =
Maybe we need to switch to Jira or gitlab for Fuego.  It seems like these would solve
our problem (but at the cost of having to administer those systems).

Some possible speed problems could be solved by using fastcgi or wscgi.
