Drawing an arbitrary line in the sand for the sake of forcing a decision on this issue, I propose that we use 8/15 (2 weeks from today) as the planned target date for us to go-live officially within *some* DVCS (to be determined in the next two weeks). This will permit us to lock-down the repo for any commits over the weekend of 8/13-8/14 to make this change.
My present leaning on this issue is toward the following approach: - move to github for source code management - retain the present hosted JIRA instance with Atlassian for issue management - investigate the available options for JIRA <--> Git integration under the present hosted JIRA (e.g., will Atlassian support one of the several git plugins for JIRA under the hosted infrastructure?) While there are some obvious benefits to potentially moving to github for integrated issue management as well, IMO there is too much value (historical and otherwise) in the existing JIRA content (both resolved issues and pending) to simply jettison JIRA as an issue-tracker after some arbitrary date and move the issue management responsibility to github as well (though I would be very interested in other committers' opinion on this matter as well -- perhaps I'm overvaluing the existing JIRA content?). Other thoughts --? PS: I do concur that the slight pause that we will have in activity following the 3.2GA release makes this the best time to consider this move for the project.
