We had already moved the git repo for JRuby off Kenai, and we had made
the decision to get our own JIRA instance set up. At this point, I
don't see us turning around and going back to Kenai, mostly because we
want everything under jruby.org domain and subdomains (Kenai does not
yet provide this feature to regular projects) and because I think
we've grown up enough as a project to run our own set of services
(plus we have EY infrastructure and admin help if we need it).

Yeah, when I asked Ted Farrell about open-sourcing Kenai, he made it
pretty clear that it's too complicated to try to do right now, what
with license/code-vetting and whatnot. That would probably be the
ideal situation, since we could move it somewhere and use the
infrastructure. But for now, it seems like it would be simpler for us
to consolidate services under jruby.org and manage them ourselves.
We're certainly open to discussion on this though :)
