The development of the Baetle plugin was suspended [1] and the priority was given to the SKOS plugin. Now, I think that the community could already start to brainstorm around the design and development of the plugin in question.
Meanwhile, I'm discussing [2] with Henry Story to setup standard procedures to extract data from issue tracking systems (starting with JIRA), so that we'll be able to build our first samples of the plugin. The idea is to have a customizable Bug Dashboard for each project using Forrest. The Bug Dashboard consists of an arbitrary number of widgets, each of them associated with a specific search filter (content aggregation). What's more, Bug Widgets can communicate with the XML web server asynchronously (AJAX) to respond to user's requests for information. A simple and small, yet useful web-app, that is. Atlassian Software Systems may already have started/considered the development of an AJAX based user interface for JIRA but this, IMO wouldn't question the existence of such a plugin. I'll be waiting for Forrest community members --my GSoC project mentor, Ross in particular-- to share their thoughts about the development of the Baetle plugin.
