Magnus and Tim (or anyone else who wishes to volunteer), The process will involve reading roundup documentation, which describes how to make the transition (but describes it in many separate stages), figuring out how to copy over the actual data, which I believe is stored in a mysqllite file, and helping me figure out how to actually get it working.
Customizations to roundup are made by modifying python code and html templates they provide, so our customizations will need to be merged with any new changes that need to go in. Probably not a problem, but will need review. I keep our customizations (which I did myself) in a darcs repo, so you should have the history there to see what I changed and why, although occasionally I'd forget to record very often. I don't expect to give you root permissions, although I'd give you permissions to modify the bug tracker (obviously). So you'd have to instruct me in what you want done in terms of configuring apache2 and/or exim4. I'll give you the relevant config files from the existing installation, so it should just involve making sure it's still correct, and that you understand what changes I'll be making. I don't want to just copy over config files haphazardly. If you wanted, you could then go on to implement cool features like integration between darcs and roundup (e.g. being able to close bugs in record messages), but that's certainly not required, and I'd only imagine would happen if you got inspired. So, are either of you up for this? It'll likely be pretty boring, but shouldn't be more than a weekend's work, max.
