Second Life JIRA FAQ

What is JIRA?

The Second Life open source initiative uses Atlassian's JIRA project management tool for issue tracking. Located at jira.secondlife.com, this issue tracker offers a searchable database of issues submitted by the Second Life community. You, too, can submit issues you find when using the open source or standard versions of Second Life. Please familiarize yourself with the information in this page before proceeding to JIRA.

Bugs only!

  • While JIRA can be used to track feature requests, bugs, tasks, and more, we have chosen to initially limit submissions to bug reports. Please read QA bug submission guidelines before submitting an issue.

User profile

  • Each JIRA user has a profile. The profile consists of your Username (SL name), Fullname (again, SL name), and all of the JIRA groups you belong too. For most people, this means "jira-users."
  • The email address associated with your account shall remain anonymous to other users. The address is not visible or configurable at this time. Direct import of your email address from Second Life's database is currently disabled until we devise a reliable method for importing it.
  • The JIRA profile is not editable because allowing changes would introduce conflicts with your Second Life account. If you wish to edit account information such as your email address, please login to the account management page at secondlife.com.
