sorry that was a carry over from staff discussion. thanks for highlighting the miss.

we’ll be adding a plugin called “discourse assign” for the staff to be able to identify and prioritize forum projects and upgrades. kinda like MS project for discourse. it will not be user facing but here is the data on the plugin
