It is a shame - I'm liking the bits I'm hearing about the new Scarab. The current Apache Scarab is terrible from my point of view as a user as it's not open enough - but that's just because it doesn't seem to allow non-logged in users to see anything. The main issue though is as Thomas has said; a third bug tracker for 2 subprojects is a big commitment for the infra team to be making - both in terms of people and physical resource. > First and most importantly JIRA is not opensource.

One of the key points of Apache is to allow commercial business to thrive on our code without enforcing more than is necessary on their licensing options. So having companies like Atlassian is one of the reasons for Apache - therefore using them is eating our own dogfood. I agree on choosing open-source first though. If its a straight choice between two bug trackers, I'd choose the open one. I hate using Bugzilla, so I've always opted for Jira. > Second, scarab uses torque. Projects should "eat-their-own-dogfood". More of a "eat-their-dog" than dogfood :) Hen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
