The big new secret project Nick Sieger has worked on for well over a
year has launched!
http://www.kenai.com
Project Kenai is a project-hosting site that aims to solve some of the
biggest hassles of other sites. It will support multiple SCMs, various
bug trackers, a wiki with MediaWiki formatting, and a lot of other
stuff. And there's another nice twist:
It's a JRuby on Rails application.
Now that the site is launched, we're going to be starting the process of
migrating JRuby's project services to Kenai. We've already done a
partial migration of the Wiki content there, but we're waiting for a
couple services to land to make a full-scale move of JRuby. At the
moment it looks like we'll be migrating to Mercurial, since that's the
DSCM currently supported by Kenai (Git is coming, but we'd like to move
sooner rather than later). We're also waiting to see if JIRA will be
added as a bug-tracking option, since we're definitely *not* migrating
to Bugzilla.
What will this mean for you all? Nothing right now. We want to do the
move en masse so there's no need to be hopping back and forth between
sites to get at JRuby stuff. And obviously we'd want to make a clean
break from the old SVN repo on Codehaus to the Hg repository on Kenai.
If there are any concerns, please raise them here. We're pretty excited
to move JRuby to a service built upon JRuby, and I think Kenai is going
to be a really nice project-hosting site in general. Check it out, and
contact me privately if you have a project you think you might like to
migrate there.
