jira atlassian clone with codeignitor and material design

Hi All,

I am wondering if someone wants to join hands with me on a new opensource project. As I work in an agile environment and I realise that Jira from atlassian has a lot of fan following. But as its too expensive for small scale companies and startups people are scared to buy its subscription. Also it has a lot of server requirement as it runs on JAVA.

So I thought why not to create a JIRA clone with new material design and codeignitor framework. But I can’t do it alone I need people to join hands with me.

I would like to know who is willing to join hands with me.

Looking forward to know more from you guys here.

Thanks
HLonare

Hi,
I wanna join you for this project, but I don't have much information about Jira, I only know that its an issue tracking application. But I don't know about its inner workings. If you guide me about what Jira actually is, than I may join you. 
You can contact me at quora and send me a private message there.
