Hey got an off-topic question regarding JIRA: is it possible to have a test-account to develop 3rd-party software for their on-demand (studio) web-app? and is there _THE_ stable developer document I can read + use to extend JIRA? (Their KB/Wiki is rather convoluted).

Once in a while I'd like to implement a plugin or something for my current workplace internally but I tend to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of documentation and various versions of JIRA.

Thanks!



I took advantage of their $10 for less than ten users plan and created a jira just for dogfooding. You do get one month free.

Personally, their documentation is the stuff of nightmares. If you look at their REST API, you can do some good stuff with just HTTP basic authentication. Its all pretty well contained here:

http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/

Personally I chose to host my app myself, to avoid the pain of their marketplace and get experience with Heroku and Ruby. But as far as I can tell they will also host your app if it meets certain criteria.

Send me an email if you have any specific questions, I'd be glad to help you get set up.

Hey thanks a lot for the info!

Much respect for your focus and execution on shipping your app. I don't mean to criticize your work in any shape or form but I'd agree with some of the people in your sub-thread: change the font :) (maybe it's just my personal taste though). It's rare to see web to use this particular font these days and it may be a bit of a turn off (may not be a deciding factor).
