Some thoughts on a Kanban view for issues.

We need to specify:

  items to display
  columns for the board
  card format/fields
  swimlane (optional)

One mapping from an index display is:

  items to display - search results
  columns for the board - @sort field
  card format/fields - @columns display
  swimlane (optional) - @group

An example kanban board for @sort=status, @columns=id,title,assignedto,
@group=sprint (assuming the issues have a sprint property) like:

   Status   Backlog       Ready         Open       Testing      Closed

Each card can be dragged to a new column and on drop, the back end is updated via
REST request to set the issue to its new status.

Consider a drag/drop javascript library:

  * https://github.com/SortableJS/Sortable
  * https://github.com/atlassian/pragmatic-drag-and-drop
  * https://github.com/ThibaultJanBeyer/DragSelect

Maybe use grid for layout of the columns/swimlanes.

Open issues:

  How to display on mobile or when width is too narrow.
  How to configure card layout. Consider a sub-template for each card style.
    That way an admin only needs to design the card level template similar
    to any other template.
