Hi *,

How about dropping JIRA and Confluence and fully leveraging GitHub for OPS4J's
projects?

Regards,
O.

Hello

I ... have never think about it. Maybe it is a good idea? Confluence is quite good, but the content there is quite dated. JIRA is great software, but it's of course subjective and lots of projects do their <issueManagement> at GH.

I don't know (I wasn't here at that time) what are the terms on which Atlassian runs Ops4J space (jira, confluence). Would be great to read feedback from others.

regards

Hi

To be honest I prefer jira over GitHub issue. However, regarding the use we do of Jira, GitHub issues could be an alternative.
Quite the same about Confluence.

So, I'm +0 about that, let's wait what the others are thinking about that.

Regards
JB

Sure, I like using JIRA (and Confluence) in other projects but the experience
for (new) users at OPS4J is quite bad.

We should at least set up a basic site at ops4j.org again and update content
in Confluence or GitHub (Pages: http://ops4j.github.io/).

There are several commits without JIRA issues therefore I thought about
switching to GitHub Issues and PRs. I guess it makes managing release
information easier.

Hello


I love JIRA. I used it since ~2002 and even replaced Mantis/Trac/ClearCase with it in 3 of my previous companies. I don't know anything about Atlassian-Ops4J agreement. It works for me, but I remember problems where people asked how to create JIRA issue... Confluence itself is also nice, but has its problems. Documentation is out of date and a bit out of touch with existing code.

As for JIRA - I'd stay there, but that's not something I'd die for. Confluence? I think for such projects it's much better to have documentation as part of the project and just publish it to gh-pages. Updating docs inside given pax-* project would be an indication of given project's health as well.

+1 for moving documentation to github pages.
-0 for Switch to github issues. I slightly prefer jira but I am fine with both.
