For better or for worse, we are a pretty small team and don't need to poll since we can all attend a meeting and agree there.
Calling for outside opinions was also a half hearted plea for help :)
Is this an indication that we finally have to settle on another bug tracker? This has been discussed previously but I can't find any conclusions from those past discussions, hence I'm asking again. I do not intend to dismiss the hard work of those people working on StoryBoard in the slightest, but it does seem like StoryBoard as a project has never really taken off outside OpenStack and is having a hard time surviving, let alone growing, likely because of that along with the widespread use of forge-style tools (GitHub, GitLab) and more comprehensive project management tools (sigh, JIRA). I recall fungi (?) raising the idea of enabling the more forge'y features, including the issue tracker, of Gitea in the past, but there are also separate tools like (heaven forbid) Bugzilla, Trac, Mantis, etc. that we could use. Heck, Launchpad is still around and is still open source (though I recall there being other issues with that?). We've already made a tough decision recently, with the sunsetting of ask.o.o, and with the impending deprecation of Angular.js, perhaps this is as good a time as any to do the same with StoryBoard?
FWIW, I started a similar thread in September 2020: [1] You might want to read it too. [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-September/017164... -yoctozepto
