JIRA is not going away, it's just no longer the entry point for general users. For developers that we collaborate with regularly, it's a different story. You would be in this bucket. So, for you nothing would change. The point is to improve the quality of the information in JIRA. If you want to use it as the system to track actual issues, this will improve that. By using the forums as the entry point we can filter what goes in. > > Kris > > ----- Original Message ----- >> If you're interested in this, please read: >> http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/8xl1i3rqvg7yz >> >> Feel free to comment here if you are adverse to posting on the >> forums. >> >> -- >> Luke Daley >> Principal Engineer, Gradleware >> http://gradleware.com >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: >> >> http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email >> >> >> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: > > http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email > > -- Luke Daley Principal Engineer, Gradleware http://gradleware.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
