Hopefully our mentors can help us quickly find a workable path? :-)

Hi all, So there has been a JIRA issue open for about a month now about migrating our issues from Google code to JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-9621 . Not a lot of progress has been made on it unfortunately. It is becoming somewhat of a blocker. We would really like to be able to point people at our JIRA instance, rather than having to keep limping along with Google Code issues. I feel like having our activity shown on the JIRA instance will also make a lot of the work that goes on semi-internally already more visible to the community. There's also the fact that Google Code will be read-only in a matter of a few months (8/24). I see two ways forward with this. One is that we convert the JSON dump of the Google Code issues into JIRA's format, and INFRA imports that into the instance. The other is to write a script to insert all the issues via the JIRA API. I think both are tenable, but there's a few issues with both. To import the issues we need Infrastructure's assistance (AFAIK), because that's an administrative option on the JIRA instance. Converting the issues themselves is something we can do without intervention it seems. I believe we could also go forward with loading the issues via scripting on the API, but the issue with that is I don't know of any instance we can test the script against, so it'd be very hard to get perfect the first time. Therefore to me we either really need the Infrastructure team's assistance, or a potentially external JIRA instance to play with. Thoughts? Suggestions? I'd be happy to assist with whatever needs to be done to move this forward. -Ian
