This has come up many times in the past, but I think now we're
actually interested in exploring it. Whether GH is the best issue
tracker or not, there's a lot of points in its favor:
* gh.com/jruby is our public-facing organization and set of
repositories, so people are already looking there
* Everyone has a GH account
* We get auto-integration between issues, commits, users, and repositories
* GH issues is simple (sometimes to a fault) so everyone can use it
I agree with others that GH is not the *best* tracker, but it's by far
the best *integrated* into the way we do dev.
So I think we'd like to prototype a script to import from JIRA into GH
issues. Here's criteria:
* We want to keep issue numbers matching, so we want to migrate *en masse*.
* We'd like to preserve comments on at least open issues, maybe with
references to GH users or maybe not.
* All issues should have links back to our current JIRA.
* Initially, all components and milestones can simply match what we
have in current JIRA
Other than that, we just need a nice way to pull over fields that
exist in JIRA into a nice format in GH issues.
So...Douglas Campos has volunteered to look into a prototype migration
script...maybe he needs help?
Other thoughts on this?
