So I have been playing with github issue tracker and I think the new version is much improved. Would this be a good forum to discuss the possibility of moving to it instead of Lighthouse? The ability to manage both pull requests and bug tracking in one system seems like a huge win to me.
Anyhow, I would like to help with the transition if it is being explored.
There’s actually been quite a few suggestions to move away from Lighthouse, there just wasn’t a good enough alternative on the market. I think that with the new GitHub issues there’s a high chance that Rails will be moving there shortly.
Actually, I've already suggested Redmine long before, since I really don't like Lighthouse. Although I prefer Redmine (or its fork ChiliProject) over Github's system, it is fine too. At least, I find it much better than LH regarding user experience...
