Re jira: we have started the process to upgrade some of the current infrastructure. This will take a while (likely months) as it involves contracts, purchases, and upgrades (where jira does not have a stellar reputation). Even jira from N years ago is significantly more capable than the github issues of today, for those of us that use it every hour of the day.
Re PRs: this has been rehashed a zillion times. It may change in the future. It's not changing right now. I believe the newer jira versions have the ability to do interesting things with patches/PRs and that's something we will look at. Re contribution process: I appreciate Andy's comments and largely agree. The majority of "small" tickets flow through the existing system just fine and are applied as they were created by the submitter (and/or updated based on review). It's particularly nice to see lots of new names in the commits for 1.8.0-alpha2 (https://github.com/clojure/clojure/commits/master). Re releases and ticket delays: The 1.7 release took an unexpectedly long time to close out. There are many reasons for that, but they're irrelevant. We have published (for the first time ever) a target freeze date for the 1.8 date and are actively moving dozens of tickets through the process (see the Screened report for the next batch). It's hard to see, but a lot of attention has been paid by me to putting highly voted tickets high in this queue (this was done even during the 1.7 close-out, in some cases pulling high desire tickets late in the release). Re bigger "features" and in particular the comments at the top of this thread: Zach's comments are available. You can see Rich's view in the ticket comments <http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1517?focusedCommentId=39972&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-39972>. We will try to set better expectations for these "bigger" changes in the future. Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
