Pro: works well in corporate environments. Con: closed-source. Is your data exportable? If not, that *should* be a dealbreaker. In-between: how well does it work for other open source projects? We use it at work; Jira as a service is quite fast. But I regard it as clocking up things that will be used for bogus metrics; I have no idea if it's actually useful to users or developers. Here's a ranty blog post about bug trackers and Wikimedia (by a WMF staffer): http://old.ironholds.org/?p=714 tl;dr all bug trackers suck, because the expectations of developers and the expectations of users are almost impossible to reconcile; the workable compromise is something where you have all the data and can do maintenance if you have to. - d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
