Please respond to [VOTE]: migrate Xerces-* to Jira
xerces-j-dev
Hi all,
For at least the last two years, both Xerces-C and Xerces-J have used
Bugzilla as their bug-tracking system.
Recently, the Infrastructure team installed a new tool named Jira. You can
get a feel for Jira by going here:
http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa
The Infrastructure team has also developed scripts which enable all
information in existing Bugzilla databases
to be migrated over to Jira--that is, the status and history of all bugs,
as well as Bugzilla account
information.
In my opinion, Jira is a significantly better product than Bugzilla. Its
interface is cleaner and faster to
use, and, moreover, it is possible to generate XML reports from Jira--which
are much more amenable to
post-processing than is the HTML that Bugzilla emits.
Further, there has been discussion in the infrastructure community of
obliging users to certify that they understand the implications of
uploading files (such as patches) to Apache. For folks interested in
assuring the pedigree of Xerces code--and, in this day and age I can't but
imagine that's everybody--this too would be a nice win.
So I'd like to propose that Xerces-C and Xerces-J migrate to Jira.
Xerces-P is already waiting for us there.
Cheers,
Neil
