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.

So we could really delete the BZ project after > the migration. 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... "Shall we switch to Jira?" http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=112654862112798&w=4 "Jira pros and cons" (the link I posted before) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=112667428311853&w=4 "[VOTE] Move to Jira" http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=112902740728087&w=4 "[VOTE] bugzilla issues cleanup" http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=112929316623578&w=4 "[JIRA] Migration complete" http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=113015139632258&w=4 "How much longer for the issue spamming?" http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=113024908324197&w=4 "Would this show up in BugZilla???" http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=113076686920172&w=4 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 :-) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&w=4&r=1&s=COCOON-1700&q=t http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=113259856315999&w=4 cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
