## Issue Tracking

This project uses JIRA a J2EE-based, issue tracking and project management application. Issues, bugs, and feature requests should be submitted to the following issue tracking system for this project.

The issue tracker can be found at [http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING](http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING)

## Source Repository

This project uses Git to manage its source code. The source code is hosted on the [ASF GitBox setup](https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf)
and replicated to [Apache organisation on GitHub](https://github.com/apache/). As a developer you may push to either GitBox or GitHub. Note however that for GitHub to work you need to set up your GitHub account with two-factor authentication from [the main GitBox page](https://gitbox.apache.org/).

To check out the Sling source code, see the instructions from  [Getting and building Sling](/documentation/development/getting-and-building-sling.html#getting-the-sling-source).

For additional information see [Using Git with Sling](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SLING/Using+Git+with+Sling).

### Web Access

The source code can be accessed using either the GitHub or GitBox setup. 

To list all modules on GitHub you can use this search query: [https://github.com/apache/?q=sling](https://github.com/apache/?q=sling), or
see our [list of repositories](/repolist.html) on this website.

### Attic / deprecated modules
See [Deprecating Sling Modules](/documentation/development/deprecating-sling-modules.html) for how we manage
module deprecation.

## Continuous Integration

The [Sling+Jenkins+Setup](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SLING/Sling+Jenkins+Setup) wiki page describes
the setup that runs Sling builds automatically (triggered by commits) on the 
[ASF's Jenkins instance](https://builds.apache.org/). 

The [Sling Monitor](https://builds.apache.org/view/Sling-Monitor/) page lists jobs that need attention.

The [Sling Folder](https://builds.apache.org/job/Sling/) page lists all jobs.
