OK, so it took two weeks to shake out a few bugs, but we now have a
Cantas instance up and running[1].

I imported the cards we had on trello.com into a Fedora Server general
board[2], so we can work from there.

Right now, unfortunately I cannot tie it to the Fedora Infrastructure.
Cantas upstream supports only two authentication mechanisms: Kerberos
and Google Accounts. Fedora Infrastructure doesn't support Kerberos at
this time, so the only alternative we have for right now is to use
Google Accounts.

I've opened a ticket with Cantas upstream to add OpenID support (which
they appear to be willing to do)[3]. When that happens, we'll pull it in
and switch over. I hope this proves a more acceptable solution for our
development.
