Integration with JIRA provides three advantages:
You can log in on either
http://wiki.nci.nih.gov
or
http://tracker.nci.nih.gov
and you will be logged in on both sites.
If you have editing permissions on the wiki, you can use a shortcut to display any one JIRA issue. Refer to
How do I use the JIRA shortcut?
If you have editing permissions you can also use the jiraissues macro. Refer to
How do I use the jiraissues macro?
