Suneel, I tend to think for this issue, GitHub issue is good enough and we do not need JIRA. Can you clarify what is the advantage you see in using JIRA over GitHub issue for this specific case? Thanks! Hagay On 1/4/18, 16:34, "Suneel Marthi" wrote: Jira has been

I think the main point being raised is an easy way to know what is happening and proposals. Github has quite a lot of nice features with respect to this: - Issues make perfect sense in terms of discussing a single-point of feature/bug and get feedback from anyone who can comment, additionally
