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.
