I can understand the reluctance, but neither mercurial or bzr are difficult to use.

There are trac plugins for both bzr and mercurial. For bzr, I was pointed the following project using trac (10.4) plus trac+bzr: http://bugs.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/browser You seemed to be open on the idea of a mirror: what about a mercurial/bzr mirror of numpy and scipy, + some kind of trac mirror (I don't think it would be a problem to have a mirror to see the branches; having a read only ticket viewer maybe more difficult) ? It is just a matter of having 1/2 volunteers + some help from people having access to the servers (to get svn dump and co). cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
