So GitHub is quite useful to us, but we have to ask a lot for ansible versions and steps.
This allows us to move faster and get more done and will also help us auto categorize tickets. I'd encourage you to give it a chance, it is only implemented on new tickets and will allow us to move much faster in just testing code vs asking repeated questions every day which is necessary with the level of interest in this project. If we moved to bugzilla you would still have the template without the single sign on and pull request integration, which I love Github for. -- Michael > On Feb 4, 2014, at 5:02 PM, Dag Wieers <d...@wieers.com> wrote: > >> On Tue, 4 Feb 2014, James Tanner wrote: >> >> In more "enterprisey" bug trackers, there are many many fields a user has >> to fill out when creating a ticket.
