Currently, we have a procedure for additional Git repositories synced with frontend (i.e. the web UI lists them with descriptions on group's main page); we could work out something similar for Mercurial as well. > > For releases I assume you mean on download?

You can upload the releases for each subproject to a respective subdirectory like ftp.gnu.org/pub/health/thalamus/ like explained in https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/FTP-Upload-Directory-Trees.html. I think that would be the most intuitive way for the users. > > > 1) GNU Health HMIS > > > 2) Thalamus > > > 3) Federation Portal > > > 4) MyGNUHealth > > > > > > Is that feasible in the current infrastructure? > > > > For the Savannah web UI bug tracker we need Ineiev to join the > > conversation as I know very little about it. A group can't have multiple bug trackers, but you can use additional fields, including cumstom ones, to assign items to their subprojects, and then select items of a specific subproject (or a set of subprojects).
