[Product-Developers] How attached to POI issue trackers are we?

[T. Kim Nguyen]

I'm sure there would be wide support for allowing existing Poi on plone.org to continue being used, and not allowing new Poi to be created on plone.org.

If Poi eventually are to be shut off entirely on plone.org then it would be good to have a moderately decent export / import mechanism; I have no idea if there is such a thing today, however.
