Enable Projects?

[JelleZijlstra]

I don't see a strong need at the moment, but also haven't used projects much.

I haven't previously used GitHub projects in any of my repos, so I'm not familiar with the functionality they provide. I'm open to the idea if others think it would be useful. @JelleZijlstra, any thoughts?

It's been a while since I've used projects. One of the nice things is that you can sort issues (but also simple text items) into custom lists. I was reminded of that when I saw Eric's final slide, which could be represented in a project. This could also be useful if we started to seriously work on the documentation, with multiple issues.

On the other hand, the overhead to manage these lists is larger and - as Jelle - pointed out, it's not clear whether we really need this extra flexibility/overhead.

I'm on the train right now, but will just temporarily enable projects just so we can play around with them - without the guarantee that we will keep them.

It seems that nowadays projects are created at the org level. This is inappropriate for us to use, so I'm closing this.
