Huh. That's new. btw, I don't think you can send images through the mailing list

I still think a project is overkill, as it depends on assigning things to people, tracking things that are "In Progress" and whatnot. It doesn't give you anything that a milestone wouldn't.

There's no reason a milestone must correspond to some release.

looks like a project "tracks absolute progress toward some goal". it's got a progress bar and everything: https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/projects/2

It would be used if you managed it and made sure it stayed up to date. You can also set up projects to auto-update. When you create the project, select the type. for example:

/Automated kanban
Kanban-style board with built-in triggers to automatically move issues and pull requests across To do, In progress and Done columns.

    A project is a way of organizing work by keeping track of who is
    working
    on what and at what stage a particular part of the project is. A
    milestone tracks absolute progress toward some goal, which is all I'm
    seeking to accomplish.

    I wouldn't be opposed to creating a project as well, but I'm
    skeptical
    that it would be used.
