I agree with David, Having used the JIRA TC Tracker a couple of times, I can say that provided we get some guidance for some of the terms used so that it is used correctly consistently. It handles the required public record of comments,- and adjudications well. Cheers, Rex On 1/9/2013 12:01 PM, David Webber wrote: Chet, Couple of TCs I'm involved with use JIRA successfully. That way there is a process to getting things into JIRA - so the "thrash" is filtered out - and substantive issues and comments tracked and their formal outcomes clear - resolved / pending / postponed Plus whatever format is submitted - email, doc or spreadsheet - ends up cut and paste into one or more JIRA entries - that the technical editors then manage - really helps track changes. And also it has a public trail that is and visible - and you can include notes with links in schema or XML annotations as needed - and you can send links out for folks - so they can review and followup. And you can create a report of JIRA activity on a release. David
