Hi All,
Matt and I were discussing the move from homegrown hosting to Bitbucket, and I was advocating for going all in: using BitBucket's issue tracker and wiki, and discontinuing further use of our Trac site at yt.enzotools.org. Could we get a simple vote going, -1/+1 for using BitBucket's issue tracker and wiki?
thanks,
J. S.

Hi Jeff,
What do you see as the pros and cons of BitBucket vs. home-grown? Though, generally I think +1: BB is probably just fine, and I refuse to vote unsigned-zero. ;-)

Hi Brian,
What do you see as the pros and cons of BitBucket vs. home-grown?
BitBucket pros: integrated with the repository hosting/tracking stuff; easy sign-in; no worry about maintenance BitBucket cons: would need a one-time transfer of info; no one has much experience using it
home-grown pros: already populated home-grown cons: hard to log into; not well used; now that repository is hosted at BB, would need to be maintained separately
I think that the BitBucket systems, while unknown, are probably just fine for our purposes, and I would rather not have to make Matt manually keep track of Trac just for issue-tracking and the wiki.

+1 to BB.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for the explanation. In that case, +1 for BB.

After we chatted today, I thought about it a lot, and I've come around from my original -1. I'm +1 on this. I think it'll make it a lot easier for people to report issues; it might still stay as an unofficial "todo" list, but I would prefer we make it easier for people to log in and use it. As for the Wiki, we don't really use it very much on Trac, and there are only a few pages on it. It would be easy to move them to either the docs or to the BB wiki. But I'll wait for the votes to come in before playing with this much.
Also, as a quick note for everybody, I've redone the "Developer Documentation" for how to contribute using BitBucket:
http://yt.enzotools.org/doc/advanced/developing.html I'd really love comments on this...

+0: BB seems good, but I have little experience with either of the BB or Trac systems. So, interpret my signed zero as in "approached from above"
