JIRA is a development management tool used by VIVO and Vitro. See https://vivo-project.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/VIVO/issues/ for collections of issues pertaining to VIVO.
VIVO uses JIRA in a very simple way, organizing more than 1000 open and closed issues into "components" – issues that address a common concept such as ontology. We regularly review the open JIRA issues to see if work is underway, or if the issue continues to be relevant given other work on the project. We may ask people who open issues to clarify their issues. We may ask people if their issue can be closed.
