Dirk,  thanks for clarifying! I'll give it a try and adapt the importer for 
jira, so we have an equal base for comparison with roundup. -florian

Hi Florian, 

your mail sums it up pretty well. Thanks for taking the time to skim through 
those old messages. We definitely are interested in making progress wherever 
that's possible.
But with a large project like SCons and major decisions to be made, 
"bikeshedding" is always around...and can bring things to a halt quickly. 
Further, we did have a tracker and most of the latest development was done by 
direct pull requests...which might have let this problem appear as one of lower 
priority.
I agree that it's time for a clear decision...from my angle the two candidates 
are Roundup and Jira. Both seem to be able to do the job on the technical 
level. So we can't choose "wrong" and just have to pick. Leaves the question 
how to do that. Would any of the devs be opposed to a simple poll, where 
everybody supports his favourite tool?

Independent of how the decision is made, what will happen later is that-just 
like in the git vs hg battle-voices speak up from time to time, claiming that a 
switch to the other alternative is what the project needs right now. That's 
just how open-source works these days I guess. :)

Best regards, 

Dirk

P.S.: I wrote all of the above under the assumption that the technical 
migration from Tigris to Jira is possible and preserves the full history, 
including the creation dates of issues and messages /comments. I'm stressing 
this point so much, because even in Roundup it's only possible with a 
work-around. ;)
