Re: Dev - ASF - JIRA

Jeff Turner commented on the Infrastructure Jira issue for a OFBiz  
ASF Jira project and migrating the data from our Jira instance. He  
recommended that we do a "backup" and then he could restore it there  
in a separate instance of Jira that would be just for OFBiz. This  
would be temporary until we can find a way to migrate the issues.

Given that this appears to be the only option, and this isn't a very  
good option because we also have private client data on the Undersun  
Jira server (the one the OFBIZ Jira project is on now), I'm thinking  
we should table this for now and work on the mailing lists, SVN and  
other such resources.

Hopefully we can sooner or later get some help from Atlassian to do  
this migration. I don't know if they have tools for this already or  
if this would have to be written...
