Hi I've got an email similar to this that's been sitting in my draft box for a couple of weeks. Here's what I originally wrote in it:
--- This has come up from time to time, and I think now is as good a time as any to get the ball rolling on this. I've done a fair bit of JIRA administration and a couple of migrations from other issue tracker, so I'm willing to take on part of the workload if people are OK with that. First I'd like to say that I have had no issues with having JIRA over at Codehaus. Their service and uptime have been great. However, it has been asked on numerous occasions: Isn't ASF infra good enough for the Maven project? My answer to that has always been: of course they are. They also do an excellent job. The reservations I've had have been more practical. We have *a lot* of JIRA project over at Codehaus [1], so we need some kind of road map for this. [1] http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa#10004 http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa#10060 http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa#10062 http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa#10061 --- I won't reiterate the pros and cons, but my feeling is that this is something that the ASF wants us to do. If the ASF is willing to take the cons (lots of new JIRA users) with the pros, then I say let's do it. The longer we wait the more difficult it will be.
