-1 I really would prefer that we use scarab. I am willing to do what it takes to get us using it. I know that a very early version of scarab is running and not being used. I think that is largely because the people who offered to set it up were not developers of scarab and got stuck with the lack of docs and features available in the early beta's. Tutorial docs might not be much better yet (not that I am knocking any of the work going on with documentation, I just have not looked at it and can't from a new admin perspective.) But the features have improved considerably.
What do I need to do to get us using scarab b10? I understand that what most want is a usable issue tracking system and the offer of a working system with a commitment to maintain it is very attractive. But the choice we are making is this: 1. Scarab: open source, apache style license. Built using torque, turbine, jcs, velocity and many other jakarta/apache technologies. Two of the primary developers are committers to torque. An offer by one of those developers to setup and maintain the system (with some coaching) on Apache hardware. 2. Jira: closed source/proprietary. Built on EJB and JSP but that irrelevant because no one is going to be able to fix anything that is broken anyway. A working version exists hosted outside apache. Ok. just saw Stephen's latest email where he offers to help maintain a scarab installation. My offer stands as well. We just need to get the system up. john mcnally On Wed, 2002-08-28 at 12:07, Jon Scott Stevens wrote: > on 2002/8/28 11:47 AM, "Jon Scott Stevens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > on 2002/8/28 10:42 AM, "Stephen Haberman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >> This seems like a fairly major change in the development process.
