Re: [office] JIRA permissions/Editors SC

[Oliver-Rainer Wittmann - Software Engineer - Sun Microsystems<Oliver-Rainer.Wittmann@Sun.COM>]

I am also interessted in getting extended permissions in JIRA in order 
to resolved our editorial notes issues. Thus, I would also join the 
editor's SC, if it will be founded.


Best regards, Oliver.
