How would you organize ideas in Jira that are not related to the current project?

[Irina]

I picked some issues which are not related to the current project but related to the system. How would you organize ideas (issues) in Jira that are not related to the current project? Would you use an integrated app for ideas? Jira?

I've done this in quite a lot of ways, but two stand out as working better with Atlassian stuff. 

The older method was a generalised and really very simple Jira project for unformed ideas - the issues had some fields in them, but we only required the summary as usual.  Description for as much detail as people wanted, and a few other fields for totally optional context if it was known.  The only one I really wanted to mention was we had a project-picker so the person with the idea could say which project they most closely related to it

Then Trello came into the family.  It didn't make sense until we started to get some decent Trello/Jira integration, but it works well now.

(Next step I'd like is Atlassian to get a mind-map app for the suite...)
