We should add a field to configure the base URL for a project's issues on GitHub to com_categories. Using my live example which has the issues here feeding to it, the issues are linked to joomla/joomla-cms instead of here.
At some point in the next week, I intend on catching up on things, and looking closely at the mvc branch. Any way that some of the smaller changes could be cherry-picked onto master now and the larger scale stuff kept in the separate branch for now? I think that'll help out a bit as well.
I believe that com_categories may not really fit our purpose. Maybe we need even more fields..
Instead of adding a new field I did a simple CRUD interface in com_tracker - mvc branch - It's also a POC ;)
