The data we have is that very few people used (and use) the

were using an even older version of Transifex (0.9) which we weren't actively
maintaining. We have asked around and
carefully reviewed whether a move like this will have a measurable outcome. In the end,
there is an open-source repo
available [1]. It's old and unmaintained, but it's there to fork and hack on.
I'm not sure you correctly understand me.
I give you an example:
I am working on Copr [1], which is provided as service. But I provide source codes [2] as
well, despite the fact that
there is *no one* else running other instance of Copr.
In fact - if you would like to start new instance of Copr you will have hard times and it
will take you non-trivial
amount of time.
Some of the data/code/information are in copr.git. Some are in public Fedora
infrastructure git and some are in private
infrastructure.git. My goal is just one. Operate that one instance [1]. And providing
sources is "just" side effect.
However I'm not spending my time and resources to tune up the code, so it can be run
somewhere else.
If somebody would be interested in running separate instance and (s)he encounter some
obstacles, then it would be *his*
work. His work to contribute and maintain it.
And despite all of these - people still contribute to Copr. By ideas. By code, although I
have to verify it. And it is
open source project.
To conclude - I suggested that you provide your current source (sans passwords and other
data you feel as confidential)
while stating that this is code for *your* instance. And if somebody wants to run *their*
instance, there must be done
some work, but nobody from your team will do it. People are on their own.
