Request to allow anonymous user access to Jira.

[Brian Beck]

Hi John:

It's a reasonable idea and one that we're actually discussing right 
now.  There are related issues to consider which may take some time to 
sort out but I would hope to have it all figured out in a month or so.  
Will keep the list posted.
