      I came to jira.musicbrainz.org looking for bug reports on what is described as "the much anticipated Next Generation Schema Beta 1 release". The projects I see in Jira's "Projects" menu are:

      Project Key URL
      Jira - JIRA -
      MusicBrainz Search Server - SEARCH -
      MusicBrainz Server - MBS - http://musicbrainz.org

      From this I have a hard time telling which project corresponds to the "NGS Beta 1 release".

      The description of project "MusicBrainz Server" says:

      "This is the perl/Catalyst/Template Toolkit version of the MusicBrainz server." This is not meaningful to me, because I don't know what technology either the NGS server or the old codebase uses.

      This project's URL is given as: "URL: http://musicbrainz.org". But the NGS beta 1 release is hosted at test.musicbrainz.org.

      Expected behaviour:

      Project name is changed to indicate NGS in some way, e.g. "MusicBrainz Server 2010 (NGS)"

      Description of project includes mention of NGS in some way, e.g. "This is the 2010 new edition of the MusicBrainz server, which includes the Next Generation Scheme (NGS) for the first time. It is built using perl/Catalyst/Template Toolkit."

      Project's URL is given as "URL: http://test.musicbrainz.org". This value is updated to "http://musicbrainz.org" upon release.
