### Motivation
Todo: clarify this.
This wiki page has mostly technical information, and some overview of the pros/cons of Github/Gitlab.
* We only use a fraction of the features of JIRA (i.e. we are perhaps not the target group for which JIRA is developed)
* JIRA tends to be overly complicated for what we do with it
* Requires to signup for two user accounts (JIRA/civicrm.org and Github)
* It's not user-friendly, even to most developers
* It's a pain to host & maintain
* It's proprietary and also requires managing plugins with their own licenses
* It's slow.
Please see:
As a result, we tend to use JIRA for the issue title and brief description, with all the discussion happening on the Github pull-requests.

General draft tentative unofficial roadmap brainstorm for JIRA deprecation:
* September-December 2017: Brainstorm/experiment period, get feedback from active contributors.
* By February 2018: Formal position of the Core Team
* By March 2018: Move Extensions (EXT) to Gitlab
* By March 2018: Move CiviVolunteer to either Gitlab or Github

Some of the above steps could be done earlier, if there is consensus.
