JIRA just looks nicer.
>From a scan of my ant-dev mailbox, 40% of list traffic is Bugzilla emails. So for Ant, I'd suggest a bugtracker's _email_ interface is much more important than its web interface. People aren't forced to deal with Bugzilla's UI very often, so who cares if it's slightly ugly? OTOH if JIRA can improve 40% of list traffic in some small way, that might be considered 'compelling'. In the current JIRA release: - Notification emails are threaded, so all mails about a bug can be easily grouped. - Replying to a JIRA email automatically adds a comment (once set up). And in the next JIRA release: - From: address includes the creator/commenter's name, of the form "Joe Bloggs (JIRA)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Clean uncluttered email format (admittedly the current JIRA format is horrible). So it might be worth waiting for the next JIRA release before deciding. > >I still don't care too much as long as we retain history and > >bugreports. > > The most important point. It would all be preserved. Imported bugs can be searched for by old Bugzilla ID, and if someone is handy with mod_rewrite, Bugzilla URLs could be redirected to JIRA URLs. --Jeff ... > Antoine > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
