: Is there any reason at all that we need to hold on to JIRA? ASF allows : us to move all issue handling over to GH, I'd like us to consider such a : move.
In my opinion, migrating from JIRA to Github "issues" would be a terrible idea. I have no objections to the goal of "encouraging" and "facilitating" contributions via github from people already using github -- but making github the defacto (or *sole*) way to participate and contribute code means pressuring people into accepting the github TOS (not just now, but whatever those might be in the future) as well as making it virtually impossible for people to participate if they are in locations github has decided to block (ie: Iran, Syria, and Crimea ATM + whomever else the US decides to sanction down the road) Opening up, or expanding, pathways for participation is one thing -- I'm all in favor of that (even if I personally can't stand those avenues). But *closing* existing path ways that are currently entirely "open" and "free" to anyone that wants to participate w/o any limitations or TOS other then "Provide an ASF controled and owned website with an email address" ... that's just sad. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
