Hi, -1 on moving to JIRA, for reasons discussed at length on various lists, especially [EMAIL PROTECTED] My reasons are only slightly about technical merit: even if JIRA is superior, it is only slightly so. My reasons are more with the purpose of the ASF, and using a commercial piece of software when a good free alternative exists. I know JIRA is free for OSS use, but not for other use, and we're giving them much much more in publicity/marketing value then they're giving us in technical value.
This is just a brief summary -- if you're curious for at-length explanations and discussions of the above reasoning, check out the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list archives from about 2 months ago. If all the other committers feel really strongly about JIRA, then in a formal vote I suppose I'd change to a -0 so as not to prevent the move by myself. As for daily reports: not only are they easy to generate as email to the list from Bugzilla, but we used to have them. They seem to have gone away, maybe as part of the domain move to logging.apache.org.
