I would use the mailinglist for discussion because it's easier to use. Use JIRA if there are patches for discussion or you want to keep the idea for future (means: no implementation in the next week).
It makes sense, but I think we will also at least create the issue in JIRA before committing it, to keep track of the changes for a particular version. Xavier Examples:
* "I want to implement XY. Ideas?" 1. discuss on mailinglist 2. commit the implementation or provide a path at JIRA * "I want to have feature XY" 1. JIRA (could be discusses in ml before) Jan >-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >Von: Xavier Hanin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.
