Hi all, I'ld like to raise a last call to switch to github issue tracker before the release. I'd like to summarize briefly why.
Pros (to me): - integration with code and mainly with PR - avoid multiplication of platforms - so much more powerful (attachment, text formatting, referecing issue/PR, pinging people, fitlering/searching/tagging, possibility to plugin external issue management such as zenhub or others) - so much more responsive, mobile friendy and easy to use - lower infrstructure management on QGIS team (would be available for other stuff) - opportunity to clean the list A proof that current situation is sub-optimal: - people are pointing to code issues directly in comments of commits on github rather than creating an issue (high chance of getting lost) - people send mail to the mailing saying they have created an issue (sic) - people creates new gitub repo for creating issue lists (sic again): see qgis 3 API or UX changes - mantra thing is a nightmare for new comers Why I don't agree on the raised issues to not to move to github: - migration of existing issues: we have migrated a to a new redmine which should make migration easier [0]. - Github has a close-source: there is an API and existing tools to migrate to other issue tracker [1]. I guess it leads down to pragmatic vs ethical matters. I would be in favor of using a semi-automatic migration: - move all open tickets - propose a tool to migrate others on demand: like a one-click process to move the features. But this can be decided afterwards. I know PSC is (was?) against it, but I feel the majority of devs (and new issue posters) are for it. Sorry to hassle on the topic. Let me know if I shall shut-up forever. Or raise your hand :) Or can we setup a loomio vote directly???
