Okay, a couple weeks back, right after we released TG 2.2.0, we discovered a few things about the sourceforge system that makes it no longer desirable for using as our tracker. We had been thinking of using Github back when we switched last year, but (at the time) we chose SF.
Now, we're going to make the switch to Github. I'm in the process of writing a migration tool that will copy all the pieces over for us. One question, though, has arisen, and this change is both significant and inconsequential. All of our previous systems have used one issue tracker for the entire project. Github uses one tracker per repository, and we have three repositories (core, docs, and tutorials). This means that I have to do something different for copying ticket information, and I want to ask for feedback before I do it. Here's the options: 1. Copy every ticket into every repository's issue tracker. Good: Ticket numbers are preserved. Bad: Tickets are fully duplicated, which could make it difficult for people to track the tickets they genuinely care about. Also means we have to close a bunch of them inappropriately (a ticket applies only to docs, so it has be closed on core and on tutorials). 2. Copy only relevant tickets, but use placeholders for non-relevant tickets. Good: Ticket numbers are preserved. Bad: Lots of tickets in each repository that will read "Placeholder. Please ignore." 3. Copy only relevant tickets. Good: Each repository's issues are kept to being just the relevant items. Bad: Ticket numbers are not preserved. I'm leaning towards number three, personally. However, I know that there are some people who will prefer (or even demand) one of the others, so as to preserve ticket numbering. What do you think? Which one would you prefer? -- Michael J.
