[DDI-SRG] Future bug tracking and wiki

[I-Lin Kuo]

Hi all,

Just read last week's minutes. I'd like to make a recommendation that IF AND
WHEN we decide to give the bug tracking system a public face, that we move
to JIRA. It has a more professional appearance than mantis and far more
features. Also, if we decide to have a public wiki, that we use Confluence.
Both are by the same company, Atlassian, and thus can be integrated very
well together.

I don't think we'd have to pay, either. Licensing terms of JIRA and
Confluence are similar, quote:


"

JIRA is free for use by official non-profit organisations and charities
(proof of non-profit status is required). There are certain organisations
whose purpose is to make the world a better place, and we believe in helping
them achieve that.

Community licenses are designed for organisations which are:

   - *non-profit*,
   - *non-government*,
   - *non-academic*,
   - *non-commercial*,
   - *non-political* and
   - *secular*

in nature, that would not otherwise be able to afford JIRA. If your
organisation is philanthropic in nature then you probably qualify.
