Looks nice, a few minor things:
* You removed the "Introduction" section. Any reason or just an oversight?
* The 'status' field is gone too. But, I think the status is not
needed in the ticket format.

Did you face any difficulties in making the transition? It would be
good to document your workflow on the Open Projects page.

We should convert all of the open projects to tickets eventually. And
then generate a report in the Open Projects page based on the tickets.
I have done this for the BSP ones and found the following changes
should be made in the workflow:
* Use only one keyword. I prefer "SoC" so it is generic to other
'summer of code' style projects.
* Use the components field to further categorize. We have some obvious
ones for the subheadings now, such as 'bsps', 'libbsd', 'testing'.
Others should be identified or else we can create new components if
necessary. I'd like to stick with the current subheadings for this
year's GSoC, but we can revise later.
