Hi Amir, We talked about this in the past. I don't think that anyone is strongly against it, we just haven't done it yet. Another plus is when we start using git/gerrit, bugzilla ties in with the code review. Maybe you can create a page about this move on Mediawiki.org? There we can list the pro's, steps to be taken, schedule, etc Maarten Op 27-5-2013 10:55, Amir Ladsgroup schreef:

Hello, An idea came into my mind and I think you should know this. Buzilla is WMF bug trakcer and I think we should migrate from sourceforge to Bugzilla because of these reasons: 1-In the sourceforge, people can report bugs via OpenID. So you don't need to register and every week we receive spam/non-sense reports [1] that won't happen If we use bugzilla 2-This become a centralized bug tracker. Some of PWB devs are also mediawiki devs so they have to work on bugzilla and sourceforge separately to track bugs but this way all of related bugs for them will show in a page 3-People don't know sourceforge but they know bugzilla [1] https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?limit=25&func=&group_id=93107&… Best

Could you maybe make work on a migration plan? i.e. to see how we can convert the bugs (is there a script that does that? should we modify anything?), and what the things to check are? Some questions that come to mind: * who do we need to make a new project on bugzilla? André Klapper, probably? * what do we want as name? (let the bikeshedding begin) * what components do we want? and how do these correspond to items at sf.net? * how can we make sure bugs link to eachother? i.e. a link from BZ to sf.net and from sf.net to BZ? * how can we get an export from sf.net? I know there *should* be a button, but I can't find it. If you need any sf.net permissions for this, let me know. * can we allow anonymous/openid submitted bugs? I think there has been discussion about this on wikitech-l, so it might be good to bump that. I've added them to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Migrating_to_bugzilla Best, Merlijn _______________________________________________ Pywikipedia-l mailing list Pywikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-l
