projects and tickets are very often closely related in my experience,
and in fact i've been using a "projects" queue in rt for years.  it
has been more of a todo queue than proper project management system,
but the ui is familiar to my team and that is 80% of the battle
towards people using it faithfully.  i'd definately LOVE it if you'd
release a project frontend!  it'd be great to be able to tie tickets
and projects together via rt2's relationships mechanism.

i've changed jobs recently and am in the process of "selling" people
here on rt2 (they are adverse to ticket systems in general).  we
really need both request tracking and project management.  yes, please
do clean&release when ready.  let me know if you'd like a beta tester
;)
