I do not have a JIRA account yet. Unfortunately, it seems I can not sign
up right now (always get a "session timed out" error message in the
signup screen). Maybe it has to do with the switching of daylight saving
time, which happens right now. I'll try again later.

Should I create a small example, or is the description below sufficient?
