Confluence/Jira etc.

[Richard Bywater]

Hi

As part of the Jenkins 2.0 proposal, KK talked about the problems with Confluence etc.

One thing I've been wondering about is whether there has been any talk of using Atlassian Cloud services to host these things instead of rolling our own? It seems to me that one of the problems we have today is supporting the Infrastructure given the time that people have available so would something like this help us as a project overall?

I know there are probably somethings that wouldn't be supported, but perhaps these are things we can look at tweaking as part of the Jenkins 2.0 process as well. The more standard we can make things and the less roll-your-own processes we have, the easier the project is to run IMHO.

Cheers

Richard.

Indeed. My colleagues in the ops team tell me how unwise it is that we run our own JIRA and Confluence, in terms of how to use the precious infra capabilities that we have.

We actually looked at this in INFRA-144, which captures some of the investigations. Not being able to connect to LDAP on jenkins-ci.org is a big problem to me to migrate an instance. But I'm all for someone looking at it again to see if this can be done. I think it'd be great.

On a separate note, I didn't think I'm proposing to roll our own when I say static site generation. I'm very much thinking about just using off-the-shelf open-source static site generator, much like how Arqullian website is built from a Git repository via an existing tool. Perhaps you still consider that "roll our own", but just wanted to make sure.
