Making JIRA a little more agile

We are using JIRA in our company as bug tracking tool and Confluence as our enterprise wiki. The tools are very useful and i like them but they need to be ‘pimped’ with some plugins and extensions. Concrete i am thinking about two extensions which i would like to see in the near future. Maybe i will find time to do develop them on my own.1) Print feature to story card
As we are using Scrum as development process in the company i’m working for i would like to see some possibility to print features/bugs on story cards that can be used for the planing meeting.

2) Dashboard view
The second thing i would like to see is a Dashboard functionality, which should not be seen as an replacement for the physical dashboard (otherwise my first feature would not make any sense) further more as an extension.

With these two extensions JIRA would become an more agile planing and tracking tool like Mingle.
