Fredrik, if you would like to help move this all forward, great; I would appreciate the help. You can write a page scraper to get the data out of SF if you don't believe SF will cooperate fast enough for your tastes or I am giving them too long to try to fix things on their end (I don't expect they will fix things fast enough either, but because of school ending soon I don't have time right now to start working on a scraper myself plus I am willing to give them a little time to try to fix the XML export so we can minimize headaches on our end). If you would rather contribute by collecting a list of possible trackers along with who will maintain it, then please do. I am not going to dive into that quite yet, but if you want to parallelize the work needed then I would appreciate the help. The tracker will need to be able to import the SF data somehow (probably will require a custom tool so the volunteers need to be aware of this), be able to export data (so we can back it up on a regular basis so we don't have to go through this again), and an email interface for at least replying to tracker items. A community-wide announcement will probably be needed to get a good group of volunteers together for any one non-commercial tracker. But I am not procrastinating. I don't think I have ever come off as a procrastinator on this list and I don't think I deserve the label. I am not putting more time in now because I am near the end of term here at school and thus passing my courses takes precendent over a new bug tracker. I ended up the chairman at the infrastructure committee during one of my busiest school terms I have ever had. But I will see this through and it will be done in a timely manner. -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
