Hi all,
I would also like to see us move our issues from JIRA to Github.
Beyond that, I fully agree with Philipp and would also bring the
"discussion" and "wiki" features.
It's nice to have everything in one central place. This lowers the
barrier to entry in my opinion. Github provides great interaction
between these modules.
Another advantage is that the wiki is then also versioned via Git and
simply consists of Markdown files that you can edit with an editor of
your choice.
Last but not least, GitHub is the central entry point for open source
projects, so we should make the best use of this entry point.
Best

Hi Dominik,
I am also in favor of migrating to GitHub issues.
I think it will ease the management of open issues and lower the entry
barrier for new developers.
Further, I am in favor of using GitHub discussions, this is a good way
to answer to common questions.
I think we should also move the wiki to GitHub, because then we have
all the information for developers in one location.
Cheers,
Philipp

Betreff: [DISCUSS] Migrate from Jira to Github Issues?
Hi everyone,
submitting bugs and feature requests are types of community
contributions with a very low entry barrier for first-time
contributors. To submit bug reports, users currently need to register
in our Jira, which is not so straightforward for non-Apache-folks.
By using Github issues, I'd expect that users find a more convenient
way to submit issues and we would foster community engagement.
There are more and more ASF projects which are moving to Github
issues, e.g., our friends from PLC4X have just recently migrated and
also Apache Airflow [1] and Apache Pulsar [2] are two great examples.
I also like the Github discussion feature Airflow and Pulsar are
using.
For some background information, people from Apache Beam have written
a feature comparison [3], a migration guide [4] and even a migration
tool [5] which we could also use to transfer our issues from Jira to
Github.
What do you think?
Cheers
Dominik
