All, To summarize the situation with Jira...
Currently all of our issues exist in Google Code's issue tracker. We need to export these and import them into Jira. There are two main challenges to this: 1) Exporting the Issues There is no out of the box way to export all of the content out of the Google Code issue tracker (including everything from comments to attachments, etc). James has built a script (linked below) that is a good start, but dosn't as of yet grab the comments. Current export scripthttp://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/source/browse/issue_exporter.py 2) Importing the Issues Jira support importing a CSV file, but this mechanism is very limited and doesn't support comments either. Tad has pointed out that we can use a Jelly Script to create these issues. I am not really familiar with writing Jelly Scripts in Jira. The other issue is that I believe you have to be a full Jira admin to use either the Jelly Script or CSV import, so we will have to coordinate with Infra either way. The easiest thing to do would be to do a simple CSV export from google code and a simple CSV import into Jira. We would loose the comments on the issues, but this could be done in a hour or two. I am not sure if it is worth spending days or weeks to preserve the comments. We might be able to put a link in the newly created Jira issue pointing back to the original Google Code issue to link to where the comments are. Personally, I am leaning towards this approach. Not ideal, but this has been kicking around for weeks. It might be better to just take the hit and move on. Thoughts? ~Michael
