OK, so how about we do this:

- Have separate Trac instance for AT (mostly used by developers and people  
somewhat familiar with what components are in Plone) - This is used for  
keeping track of and executing AT releases

- Add a category "Archetypes" to the Plone tracker, small bugs stay in  
this category, bigger stuff gets "ported" over to the AT tracker as needed.

I would still like to see PLIPs being used more extensively for AT  
development. The changes we are making to PSC in SVn will make it possible  
to subscribe to RSS feeds of proposals etc - making the process of new  
proposals much easier to track.

(everything else also has an RSS feed - categories of software, individual  
projects, etc etc :)

We are also streamlining the way the release management and PLIP  
association works, more about this when we have something to show.

Anyway - is the above proposed solution for AT something that makes sense?
