Tim,
To follow up on the previous question, there are a few features that I'm not
seeing in the GForge demo online. These are all features that our
developers will ask about:
Project home pages: is there an easy way to create these?
Mailing list management: where?
Web forums: search feature?
Bug Tracking: is there the ability to add more characteristics to bugs?
Cvsweb: I notice ties from gforge.org to cvsweb. Is this something we can
easily set up?
Josh, someone pointed out the list discussion going on today, and I
wanted to comment on this, but am not subscribed:
> - How will mailing list subscribers be affected?
If you already use mailman, it would be seamless, as GForge does too. It
would be a matter of entering all the mailman lists into the GForge
database (probably scriptable, assuming GBORG had any rational naming
convention).
> - How will CVS users be affected?
Same again most likely. GForge uses unix groups & users to control CVS,
so they would have to be backfilled into the GF database.

GF uses mailman to archive lists for now (although GF4 has a snazzier
system)

I may be able to help you migrate your database structure over, assuming
it is even remotely understandable.
