Multilingual development (jira testing)
Hello all,
This was the first test of the JIRA bug tracker, located on the wikimedia toolserver. Because of the limitations of the sourceforge bug tracker, we are thinking about moving to this tracker. This, however, does have two important downsides.
First of all, how can we convert/copy bugs transparently? Sourceforge.net has an export functionality, so this should be technically possible. Rerouting existing bug owners to the new tracker should be fairly easy by submitting a link to the bug reports at sourceforge.
Secondly, how can we prevent people from using the old bug tracker? Fixing the web site should be easy, but I think there might be some leftover links on meta, etc. Tracking this - again - should not be hard, but it needs to be done.
For now, the trackers will coexist; the jira tracker being the test tracker and the sourceforge one being the stable tracker. Feel free to play around with the jira tracker at https://jira.ts.wikimedia.org/browse/PYWP-2 :)
