I wonder why I was able to jointly assign my copyright with a lot of other open source projects without having to sign papers, sent them in by fax, wait for a written agreement, and pray to get a JIRA account... ;-)
See, I talked to a real lot of former JavaFX contributors in the past weeks (visited some European JUGs in 2015), and *virtually everybody* told me that he is really unsatisfied with the fact that he cannot directly file to JIRA anymore or AT LEAST vote and comment on existing tickets. Is the JavaFX team clear about how many contributors you lost by that policy? I really wonder whether you see the reality there outside of Oracle. People stopped reporting bugs! This is a real problem for JavaFX. You should act. Now. -Markus -----Original Message----- From: openjfx-dev [mailto:openjfx-dev-boun...@openjdk.java.net] On Behalf Of dalibor topic Sent: Dienstag, 1.
