Hi all,

I don't have a problem with a complete move to JIRA.
It's just that I read through the xml-cocoon-dev list this
morning and realized how much effort that really is.

The xml-cocoon-dev did not delete the BZ project, because there are
lots of external links pointing there. In particular, our mailing
list archive has plenty of messages with links to bugzilla, which
would become useless for the casual user. Advanced users will know
how to locate the corresponding bug ini JIRA instead, but casual
users sure won't.
xml-cocoon-dev did generate an additional comment for each of their
issues in bugzilla that would point users to the JIRA version of the
issue. And they did that via SQL directly in the database, to avoid
flooding their mailing list with spam. But there were still several
hundred JIRA mails during the transition, or at least that's what it
felt like when I was browsing the list.
It is quite an interesting read...

No, I did not read all of these threads completely :-)
The later ones are dealing with the migration problems.

It's also nice to notice that JIRA generates it's mails partially
based on the user's locale. But that might be fixed by now :-)
