All,

As we now are tracking all issues via JIRA and are going to be releasing 
our Documentation via Confluence (which integrates well with JIRA), I'm 
beginning to wonder whether we need to continue to maintain a CHANGES 
file in SVN:

http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk/dspace/CHANGES

In preparation for 1.7.0 release, I've recently updated our new 
"History" page in our Wiki Docs to automatically query for all 1.7.0 
fixed issues in JIRA.  This essentially provides a very similar list to 
what we have been maintaining in the CHANGES file.  But, now it is 
automated, based on JIRA issues which are closed/resolved for 1.7.0:

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/History

So, I thought I'd ask to see if anyone feels strongly about continuing 
to maintain the CHANGES file.  There are a few options going forward:
(1) Continue to maintain CHANGES file in parallel to this new History page.
(2) Keep the CHANGES file in SVN, but replace all its contents with just 
a link to 'History' page in the Wiki Documentation.
(3) Remove the CHANGES file from SVN entirely, as the changes/history 
are now tracked automatically in the Wiki docs.

I am beginning to lean more and more towards #2.  But, if others feel 
strongly about continuing to maintain the CHANGES file, we can do so.

What do you think?
