Getting back to the issue of issues tracking.
Let's try to get realistic about this. As I think about it, I realize that the sooner we get this set up, the better off we'll be. JIRA costs money. Marc, do you realistically think you can score us the use of a JIRA system somewhere? If so, great. Let's do it.
JIRA is free to non-commercial projects. The only problem is we don't have somehwere to host it. Would we be able to host it on sourcejammer.org? It's very easy to install and get going (using default file-based DB impl, then someone can migrate it to mysql later <g>).
I'm trying to see if I can get people at codehaus.org to host it for us as they do this already for a lot of OS products, but am having trouble making contact with someone there at the moment.
If sourcejammer.org cannot run JIRA is there somebody here who can?
It doesn't even require Tomcat installed if you are happy to use their bundled tomcat install.
The condition for a free JIRA is basically that you have an active project, with existing source, a public website, and that the JIRA will be publicly accessible and will not be used for non-OS projects. We just need to send an application e-mail in but we need to know what our server URL will be etc.
We can probably get a free Confluence license from them too, which is a very good Wiki / CMS apparently - codehaus.org use that as well I believe.
But if not, then let's do something else. I agree that the SF tool sucks out loud. Bugzilla is free and pretty easy to set up. I think I can get us a Bugzilla server set up pretty easily. Should we just go ahead and do that?
Nooooooooooooooo! In my experience Bugzilla is even worse than the SF tracker! Getting information out of it is hell.
