I have a few questions about moving issues to GitHub. I haven’t used Github issues much so these all may be easily solvable.
* Since it looks like not all repositories will be migrated where should their issues go? What about issues for repositories that don’t yet exist or cross-cutting issues? * As a user, I’ll occasionally skim the recently opened bugs in Jira across the entire project to see if any may affect us. Is there going to be a way to do this with Github? Subscribing to notifications could be a work-around but it’s not ideal. * Are we going to get more high quality bug reports using Github? This may not be answerable without trying it out, but making issues easier to create issues could cause an influx of questions and non-cordova related bugs. This could add on to the difficulties of triaging and migrating bugs across repos. * If we migrate before triaging where will all the un-triaged issues end up? Also if we enable Github issues before phase 2 are we going to be using both Jira and Github Issues for a period of time? -Connor On August 2, 2017 at 7:08:18 PM, Jan Piotrowski (piotrow...@gmail.com) wrote: If people post their issue at the wrong repo (which of course can and will happen from time to time), there is a way to move them over with minimal loss of information: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/issues/12542 https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2597 This works for issues where several people replied already in the exact same way: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/issues/11898 https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2386 As the original poster of the issue and each reply is @-mentioned they are notified about the "new" issue and can continue participating. Replying users also can just include the @username in their new replies again to make sure people get notified. -J 2017-08-02 21:53 GMT+02:00 Filip Maj <maj....@gmail.com>: > I think the ease of use of GitHub issues overcomes potential problems > about cross-referencing issues.
