github does a great job with hosting git repos and making forking and sharing easy (but you already know this) While there are things I don't like about jira on codehaus I think the collected set of jruby issues and comments are a great resource and having used a bunch of other systems for issues I think Jira is the best. I don't have a good sense of what the benefit might be of using github's issue tracking instead of Jira. The searchability of Jira is great (as opposed to the UI for performing searches) and I like the ability for creation of rich comment threadson an issue in Jira. On the wiki page about using webstart with JRuby I was easily able to add a url link which would show all Jira issues tagged aswebstart -- that's nice. I don't like trying to find things in the wiki on Kenai at all -- here doesn't seem to be a way to search easily for a pagein the JRuby wiki itself. I recently wrote a response to a thread on the jruby-user mailing list about using a debugger. I had edited this pagein the past and wanted to reference it in the email but this page was a pain to find: http://kenai.com/projects/jruby/pages/UsingTheJRubyDebugger -- I'd like this to be easier. Brainstorming about the wiki I'd like it to be easier for people to contribute, to review contributions, to mark pages or sections as out-of-date and to highlight when a page hasn't been edited for a long time to help folks know when something might be out-of-date. If the wiki was easier to use I might have taken some of what I wrote in the email to the user list about debugging and added it to the wiki page on the debugger. A great deal of useful info is shared in IRC -- in the past when there was an exchange I found particularly helpful I'd addit to a wiki page. It should be as easy as possible to get to the wiki and either find the topic already covered, find a place to add the tip/suggestion or to know when to create, what to name, and where to put a new page. A new page or section of page just written should be able to be tagged by a writer if they'd like it reviewed for accuracy.Another reader could see this tag and know that the writer has asked for this review and whether any reviews/edits had taken place. Folks with more experience should be able to easily find and review pages which have been tagged as "please check out what I wrote". It would be great to be able to get a hirearchical/searchable pdf export of the wiki. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
