Add new story from the taskboard

[aaimnr]

To reach greater productivity in Backlogs number of context switches required to perform most basic actions has to be decreased. One of those is adding new stories - it's not possible currently from the taskboard view.

How do you see this work? You mean a whole new story or a story from any of the backlogs? I see no pressing need to encourage creating whole new stories from the task board (stories that get defined at the task board are probably not very well thought-out). As for picking one from the main backlogs screen, it's a bit big to squeeze into the task board.

Use-case much appreciated.

I think you are right in a Scrum way. I was trying to use Backlogs in a maintenance project, were there's a lot of unplanned changes that don't have any obvious upfront categorization that could be used to plan Sprints. I think Kanban meets those needs.
Another advantage would be experience closer to Pivotal Tracker single page view.

We're not striving to be Pivotal tracker, Pivotal does that a lot better themselves ;)

I think there's a kanban plugin for redmine, and you could just plan those unexpected changes as tasks, right?
