Deadlines and assignees will not be useful for 5 months. Got any
examples of Teams using these features effectively that do not need the
features? The art team doesn't need bug reporting tools, for example.
Again, what features are useful for the ArtTeam?

yes, well, at least lp would keep it all in one place. Problem is, that
place is too controlled for what an art team requires for 5 out of 6
months.

Agreed! No one stepped up to the the plate when Mark asked. Now everyone
is swinging at every pitch and striking out. Instead of calmly waiting
for a meeting to obtain agreed focus and structure, people are
implimenting, moving and renaming on their own under the same chaotic
structure that got the team where it is. Great to see some fire but lets
save it for the vision!
