Multiple projects on board
The problem
When you have many small projects or for example many repositories composing single project sometimes it is useful to see all of them on a single board to get the whole picture of what's going on in project.
Also we should take into account multiple points of view - e.g. the same kanban board is used by managers, developers and executives, they all need abstraction level, e.g. for me as a developer I should be able to see the whole picture but should be able to see individual tasks as I am working on tasks, chief executive should be able to see the whole picture, but could not care of individual tasks, etc.
The solution
There are multiple possible solutions - simply allow to create multiproject boards, or there is approach called "portfolio kanban" which is designed specifically for such a cases. Also there is technique of linking projects, but this becomes really messy in case of many project.
For now, we are evaluating portfolio kanban to be implemented.

We are currently evaluating switching our team over to gitlab for all our needs (repos, issues, kanban boards, testing, deployment). We've got projects which consist of multiple repositories; one for the Android app, one for the iOS app, and one for the backend. So we need to be able to create a kanban board which can incorporate issues from multiple projects. I guess I need what is called a "portfolio board" in this discussion.
I see that there is a reference to merge request https://gitlab.com/leanlabsio/kanban/merge_requests/78 , but I also see it was not merged into master.
Has there been any other progress on this? We really need this, so any tips are welcome (on plugins or any other solutions).

@cnam812 do you plan on deploying this on the community edition? Or else, do you plan on deploying an EE docker image? Thanks!
@cnam812 I second @eullerborges, would this be in the "near" future available in the community edition?
