+====== Developer Journal Requirements ======
+   * **Author**: Jim Hanley (DGtlRift)
+   * **Status**: Draft
+   * **Associated Issue**: http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=8225
+===== Introduction =====
+Although Mantis can keep notes regarding specific issues, it cannot securely track day to day logging of individual developers.   A solution might be to create a developer specific issue that would never close, but this is somewhat clumsy.  Another solution would be to just hold the journal within the wiki, but this has security issues, and doesn't allow for the ability of developers and managers to comment easily on notes as they can within the issue notes.  I believe the better solution would be to add journal interface to mantis.  There's a couple of ways this can be done as well.  Natively writing it in, or similar to the wiki plugin, using an external blog project as a plugin.  A colleague has integrated forum with mantis, but from what I can tell it is not configured for privacy, or doesn't have that capability.  I invite him to comment if I'm mistaken.
+===== Implementation Notes =====
+  * This could easily be done by using the bugnote tables.
+==== Database Changes ====
+  * None, with the exception that there would be an additional **note_type** define ''JOURNAL'' for the table ''mantis_bugnote_table''
+  * The **bug_id** would now have a meaning against two tables ''mantis_bug_table'' and ''mantis_user_table''
+==== Configuration ====
+  * ''$g_journal'' indicate whether or not to allow the journal
+  * ''$g_journal_threshold'' indicates the user level allowed to keep a journal
+==== Implementation Log ====
+===== Other Changes =====
+===== Feedback =====
+  * This is just a first pass at implementation and I would like any comments or suggestions
