Expensive? It's one of the least expensive enterprise-grade applications
I've ever seen! At $4,800 for an enterprise license and a $2,400 annual
upgrade, it's a steal. The serious competitors run into tens of thousands o=
f
dollars for an enterprise license. Also, JIRA is free for all non-profit an=
d
charitable organisations, and for open source.

Also I dont understand whats the great benefit for us - compared to
> bugzilla - that we act as a marketing plattform for jira.


We're no more a marketing platform for it than any of the other open source
organisations that use it. As others have pointed out, many projects - and =
I
do mean *many* projects - at the ASF already use it. See:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa

One other point: JIRA is a glowing example of what open source can do. It i=
s
built upon a ton of other open source projects, some of which were even
founded by the JIRA authors themselves.

As for features, I think the dashboard is very valuable, as is the project
summary, and the ability to use it for planning and roadmap tracking in a
*much* more usable manner than Bugzilla.
