I think the way Rails does it, aka with well-done newcomers guide (https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.html) is worth looking at, as Carlton notes. A bit more streamlined than the current Django How To Contribute Guides. Incidentally, Carlton and I will be having a

Although I'm not engaged too much with Django development now, a big drawback of moving to GitHub issues for me would be that I could no longer do a Google search like "something something site:code.djangoproject.com". I could pretty much always find the ticket I was looking for that way.

Just on this point: > I agree with Andrew Godwins statement on Django loosing many contributors over the years and being in largely maintenance mode. First, I'm not sure Andrew actually said this. Rather I think he reported is a point raised. However... I hear this kind of thing said. It

Hi All, I want to thank you all for your time and input. I'll start doing some research into how cpython and others are managing this. I will draw up a few options and present them so we can better work out the possibilities and details before submitting a process DEP. I don't want to submit

We actually discussed this a little at the PyCon AU sprints and the consensus was that GitHub issues would be great *if only they were a bit more featureful*. The problems I feel are specifically an issue: - Ticket states; this is not easily replicated with labels, while components etc. are

The more I use Trac, the more I appreciate its power. I'm normally all for Progress™ but I'm not sure GitHub's UI is up to it. (Being able to find the old discussion is super handy: it's not that often that an idea has not come up before at this stage.) *I'd be interested to see what a

Hi Aymeric, You bring up a lot of good points. There will undoubtedly be challenges and huge amount of work in moving to a new system, or implementing any big sweeping changes, however, I truly honestly believe that it would be worth it in the long run, and the payoff would far outweigh the

To put it short, the barrier to entry is far too high and difficult for newcomers and even long time users of Django. I agree with others sentiment that there isn't anything that trac can do which github issues cannot, especially for the overwhelming majority of tickets. As a long time user

Hello John, This was discussed before, when we moved from self-hosted svn to GitHub-hosted git, but I'm not sure there are public archives of all discussions. As far as I remember, the main points to tackle are: 1. Does GitHub allow "anonymous triage" i.e. labelling, closing, and reopening
