Expensive? It's one of the least expensive enterprise-grade applications I've ever seen! At $4,800 for an enterprise license and a $2,400 annual upgrade, it's a steal. The serious competitors run into tens of thousands of dollars for an enterprise license. Also, JIRA is free for all non-profit and charitable organisations, and for open source. Also I dont understand whats the great benefit for us - compared to > bugzilla - that we act as a marketing plattform for jira. We're no more a marketing platform for it than any of the other open source organisations that use it. As others have pointed out, many projects - and I do mean *many* projects - at the ASF already use it. See: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa One other point: JIRA is a glowing example of what open source can do. It is built upon a ton of other open source projects, some of which were even founded by the JIRA authors themselves. As for features, I think the dashboard is very valuable, as is the project summary, and the ability to use it for planning and roadmap tracking in a *much* more usable manner than Bugzilla. -- Martin Cooper Sorry if I completely missed the point.
