Yeah I think that would be fine to be honest.

Just the ability to have a theme that was something like 'Extra Project Items' or something.

In which you can have some tasks like set up server, dev envinronment, deploy to live etc etc that have time/money associated to them.

So the option to add a story that didn't have the 'As a..' format would be ideal.

Yeah potentially, hadn't really thought of that :)

Just sometimes you have a wireframe doc for the whole site ( a balsamiq or something similar) which applies to the whole project.

Maybe its just a case of adding a 'Project Description' or 'Project Background' section that allows you to put in a description and upload a couple of files, or link to a basecamp project or Google Doc or something like that.

Doesn't have to be overly complicated or technical

I think it might be a nice feature to have as a separate field.

Sometimes it is nice to allocate a priority at least to an individual user story so you can make sure that you have completed all the level 1's or 1000, or whatever the highest prioroty number is....then you can say that you are rolling all level 3's into a phase 2 for instance...

Or something like that... :)

We currently use a Google spreadsheet and have a priority column and get the client to bash through the list assigning numbers from 1000 - 0 (1000 being the highest priority) assigning 1000, 900, 800, 700 etc etc.  It's just a nice way of a client quickly going througn and demonstrating what they think are the highest priority.

We then say we can do everything over a 700 for instance, 600 - 400 is a if we can squeeze it into the budget, anything below a 400 is never gonna get done and will be phase 2...

I hope that makes sense.  Not sure if it specifically agile/scrum or any technique, its just sometimes useful.

I think this is related to the drag and drop ranking of stories in the other issue tracker item, but it would be great to have some sort of priority field so clients can give some sort of indication of importance i.e. level 1 (must be done), 2 (desirable) and 3 (nice to have, but not a show stopper)

I understand the need to keep it simple and less is more but would be useful I think...
