Subject: [jira] [Created] (SOLR-16455) Migrate Jira to Github Issues and
Github Projects, and migrate mailing lists to Github Discussions
To: <iss...@solr.apache.org>
Jeb Nix created SOLR-16455:
------------------------------
Summary: Migrate Jira to Github Issues and Github Projects,
and migrate mailing lists to Github Discussions
Key: SOLR-16455
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-16455
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Wish
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Components: github
Reporter: Jeb Nix
GitHub is where people are at when they lookup for Solr (or basically any
project). Most of the modern projects that have been started with Jira and
mailing lists have migrated to Github in the last few years. Lucene did
that just now for the Issues which has allowed me to explore much more of
their issues. GitHub works great and many think that it works even better
(I think that there is no doubt that it is working better for the
Discussions vs. Mailing lists).
I suggest here a pretty heavy move, that personally will allow me to start
anticipating within Solr's community (since I really don't like the mailing
lists nor Jira), and I think that there are much more like me out there. In
my opinion, when the issues are managed on Github, it is much simpler to
collaborate and they will get wider exposure since developers are spending
time on Github anyway (whether if it's for their projects or for looking at
the actual source code). It is also important to mention that it is pretty
cumbersome for a new contributor that wants to add stuff to Solr, to talk
about this via mail, then translate them to Jira of the issues, and just
after that submit a PR on Github. e.g. 3 different systems for each process.
Actually, I thought such a great move (for me at least) would never happen
in Solr in the next years since I didn't think that the community sees &
understands the many advantages yet. But now that the Lucene guys did this,
I believe that it is possible for Solr too.
