Description

Many new contexts are coming... Most of them are related to issues.

Right now when we work with tasks we talk like this:

User: Working
Orangutan: Ok...
User: Change activity to Development
Orangutan: Ok...
User: Started at 15:00
Orangutan: Ok...

That is we do not refer to the task... Orangutan “remembers” current task and does not require as to specify its ID or something like this...

With issues we have completely different situation - we need to specify ID each time!.. But why not?:

User: #203
Orangutan: Issue #203...
User: I like it!
Orangutan: Glad you do!
User: It's my main issue now
Orangutan: Ok...

You see? Orangutan can remember such things...

How to implement?

I see the following solution:

$user->SetTopic('issue', $issueid);
if (!defined($issueid)) {
  $issueid = $user->GetTopic('issue');
}

That is I suggest to implement “topics” - internal variables which contain the topic of discussion... Of course many context should be modified to use/save topics... Topics should have time out (SetTopic should save current time).
