The priority and size information is in the kanban card, so that is
pretty easy to do.

Kiko was pretty clear about not wanting links to the Papyrs or other
documents and wants the data pulled in to status.linaro.org to hide
the planning documents. The should be a basic API for the Papyrs
service now so I can probably start working on that.

Yes, Joey has filled in the requirements id for every kanban card and
we will link the blueprints to them using the whiteboard, like this:

"Meta:
Roadmap id: GWG2011-BENCHMARK-DASHBOARD"

On a side note, I think that the Headline: and Acceptance criteria:
fields also should go under the Meta: section of the whiteboard, since
that's a mechanism in Launchpad that allows for automatically
harvesting that information.
