Project Title Colony Task Importer

Project Description

We don't think it's feasible to replace project tasks from issue tracking tools like Jira, GitHub Issues, or Trello directly with Colony tasks. The reasons for this is that there can be a lengthy process from tasks are proposed until it's ironed out, estimated and accepted in a sprint. Also, a lot of proposed issues are closed before they ever reach a sprint (duplicate, out of scope, etc.). If this process was to take place on the blockchain / Colony, it could be an expensive (transaction fees), heavily bureaucratic, and ineffective process.

Therefore we want to propose a solution where we use issue tracking tools like GitHub, Jira, Trello, etc. as a filtering/caching layer and only bring the issues that are accepted, suitable specified, adequately discussed and ready to be estimated into the colony (as a colony task).

We want to create a dApp (UI and accompanied smart contracts) for connecting a colony domain with issue tracking tools. The responsibility of the dApp is to facilitate the process of bringing the "right" tasks from an issue tracking tool (Jira, Trello, etc.) into a colony as colony-tasks.
