I suspect having two issue trackers active at the same time would become very messy. Some bugs will have JIRA issue numbers, others will have GitHub-generated issue numbers, some bugs will exist in just one system, some in both etc. And if people can file bugs without being aware of JIRA, there will be more duplicates filed (as you mention). And there would not be an easy way to mark a bug as a duplicate of a bug in the other system. And bug discussions would be split between two systems. And people without JIRA accounts would not be able to follow JIRA bugs. And so on.
I'd encourage sticking to just JIRA as the official "system of record", pointing people there to file new bugs. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Christian Lenz <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2018 3:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: AW: Hacktoberfest Maybe it is to late but we also should activate the GitHub issues again. I asked in the infrachat and if I understand it correct, there is no Problem while using GitHub as an issue Tracker too. It seems possible to create jira tickets from GitHub issues, but not vice versa (Plugin missing, must be written, etc.) to cover the Basic stuff. I know that jira and GitHub issues are very different Systems, but for Basic Generation of issues, that could be possible. Anyway, we will also have the Problem of duplicates. So is there anything else, what doesn’t make sense to Show issues on the incubator-netbeans repo? A lot more People will create tickets on the favorite repo System, instead of creating a JIRA account. And, again the issue section will help us with the next hacktoberfest, where we can have Benefits out of it. Cheers Chris Von: Christian Lenz Gesendet: Dienstag, 2.

The problem with our repo is, that we don’t show our issues, because it is in jira. I don’t know whether it is possible to sync issues from jira to GitHub, to Benefit from the hacktoberfest. Don’t know whether it is to late and to much effort, Maybe next year 😃.
