Import tickets from Lighthouse

[aslakhellesoy]

Someone is going to open source some tool that does this soon…

[josephwilk]

Are we planning to leave lighthouse?

[aslakhellesoy]

Only if github’s tracker is better. Pros and cons?

[bmabey]

Cons:
- No syntax highlighting
- Can’t upload files
(Yet)

[aslakhellesoy]

We can live without syntax highlighting. Most people using LH never discover that they need to use @ anyway.

Not being able to upload files is only a problem for binary attachments. Text files can be linked to via Gist. And we rarely get binary attachments.

There is a script to import from LH in the [GitHub blog](http://github.com/blog/413-github-api-take-two) (comment 5)

Pros? Everything in one place. A more active community and more likely to acquire awesomeness sooner.

Con: Cannot use email client to reply to tickets/issues.

[aslakhellesoy]

Not being able to reply by mail is a show stopper for me. I do that on my iphone a lot because it's much more convenient than browser. Let's wait a bit with this then.
