@joevano We’ve not decided never to adopt Rails 3. We’re not prioritizing it at this point.

We will keep focusing on isolating the various components of Gitorious such that over time we become less coupled to Rails than we are now. This will ease upgrades – or, if we decide to, help us move off of Rails.

Please reconsider the jump to Rails 3.0. Running Rails 2.3.11+ on Ruby 1.9.2+ is troublesome at best. Ruby 1.8.7 runs 2.3 just fine, but the days of Ruby 1.8.7 are very limited. Normal maintenance releases ended 3 months ago and emergency security fixes end in June 2013. I would hate for you to do all of this work and be stuck on technology that won’t help people to stay current and make your product seem old before it gets out of the gate.

I’m not sure a missing issue tracker is “the biggest reason people don’t use Gitorious”, but it sure is something we’ll be looking into down the line. Currently we’re confident that the things we are now working with are the most important at this point.

How about you finally make a integrated issue tracker. That’s the biggest reason people don’t use Gitorious.
