Greg I do not plan to reorganize existing _repositories_ and their
structure nor to reorganize the _project_ in any way :-) The
unfortunate name "GitHub Projects" perfectly shadows "project
repositories that reside on GitHub" that we commonly call "github
projects" or "github repos". So if you think that I wanted to
reorganize anything in nuttx or nuttx-apps repositories then be sure I
am not. How could you think like this about me :D :D

"GitHub Projects"^TM is a new app/plugin (just like Issues, Wiki, Pull
Requests, etc, it is visible in the top bar of the repository) for
tasks, issues, and pr visualization in _existing_repositories_. Its a
kind of "management" utility to visualize Roadmap based on existing
Issues and PRs. It can also display the same information in a form of
Table or Board (lol). Long story short instead of standard familiar
list of Issues (human unreadable) GitHub creates this great
opportunity to additionally create a table with some selected issues
plus some additional information like hierarchy progress timeline etc
(human seem to prefer this display mode). And its on GitHub where we
review Issues and PR, so it may be easier to use rather than external
wiki or any other "roadmap tool", and it should self-update on tasks
progress.

So I have created a playground to see what it is, how it works, and if
that matches our recent discussion in terms of tasks, areas,
specialists, progress, timeline, and roadmap. You have admin rights,
so if you think this sux just delete it :D

https://github.com/orgs/apache/projects


So, initially, I was refering to this "web app plugin" called "GitHub
Projects"^TM. I have created 4 example projects to play around with to
see how to use them. I did not know how it worked at first so I
created 3 "projects", but while expoloring it seems we can gather
tasks (issues/prs) from nuttx, nuttx-apps, nuttx-website repositories
and keep them in one "project" called Apache NuttX RTOS. I did not
delete anything so we can compare and choose best choice. We can also
use separate additional "GitHub Project"^TM to track GSoC related
tasks not to mix them with development tasks. Note the long name
because it seems these "GitHub Projects"^TM are part of Apache
organization not the code repository. We are first to try it, but
there may be more, so we need a self-explanatory name.

Thanks :-)
Tomek
