The [http://sayspy.blogspot.com/2006/06/request-for-test-trackers-to-get.html word on the street]: "We want the best solution possible without being political." Sounds like a minor BitKeeper incident in the making, but then SourceForge isn't entirely run on open source software, either. -- PaulBoddie |
Some experiences with Jira:
- SF conversions seems to work fine.
- needs login for every user, even for read.
This is just a configuration issue. [http://issues.apache.org/jira/ The Apache JIRA] has public read enabled.
- can do convenient mass edits, for example, I could assign all issues currently assigned to "loewis" to "mloewis".
Questions
Bignose:
According to the [http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing.jsp licensing and pricing] page for Jira, it is non-free software. We can't examine, improve, or commission others to do these things to it. Why are we considering a non-free tracker for Python?
