[License-review] moving to an issue tracker [was Re: Some notes for license submitters]

[Nigel T]

While I’m more used to atlassian I don’t remember the github code review tools to be bad but I haven’t had to use them for real.  

Given the body of goss policy work already on github I would recommend github just so it’s easier for everything to be in one place. There may also be some minor advantages in being able to link issues. 

18F is there, code.gov is there, the UK digital service is there, etc.

Regards,

Nigel
