Other than "then we don't have to run it on our server" is there any *advantage* to Google Code issue tracking over Trac? As far as I'm aware, today's spam attack is the first time in about a year we've done anything on an administrative/server management level to keep Trac running smoothly - this does not seem to be a significant burden. The origin of the "move to Google Code" discussion appears to be that some folks want ticket creation to be something we control rather than letting users do it. I personally think that the convenience of users submitting their own tickets outweighs the problems with marking duplicates and closing bad tickets, but I'm not on the front lines of Adium support. It seems to me that we should look into other mechanisms to reduce duplicate tickets rather than creating a personnel-dependent bottleneck. In any case, we could easily set Trac not to let users create tickets; moving to a whole new system is not needed for such a change. Similarly, we could delete all existing tickets, if "starting fresh" were the goal, or we could create a new environment, keep the old one up for historical access, and migrate any tickets we wanted. I don't think that's a very good idea, either, but my point is only that moving to a whole new system is not required to accomplish this. -Evan
