In my team we use kanban (aka swimlanes/trello) for planning programming work.

I want to stop using gitlab issues / trello boards and use discourse as one place to co-ordinate all this.  
(Why? I love the UX of discourse and everyone hates using multiple systems)

Here is my idea for coding a kanban interface:

1. Each sub category will be a separate column.
2. Topic in each category are cards in each column.

So for e.g. Under the features category I can create sub categories like

Incoming feature request.  
Being planned  
Being developed  
Being tested  
Released to production

In the kanban interface on one page i will be able to see all the features separated out in the above 5 columns.

Dragging and dropping the card between column will move them along the process.’

I have coded something similar in the past and programming it would be trivial.

The order of the cards in each column will be determined by the votes of that card.

Is this the right spec? Or is there a better way to do things?
