Bug/feature reqeust move to Sourceforge
ollydbg:
BerliOS site has so limited feature on bugs/feature requests.
No email notification(only the dev assign the bug can receive the email), no file attachment....
This make devs hard to control/handle there issues.
With Sourceforge, we can have all of the feature above, besides that, I believe even more feature like the svn hook can be used to synchronize the bug report and the svn commit.
The difficult is: we have a lot of bugs/features in berliOs, so its hard to migrate.
Method:
1, free/lock the reports in berliOS (no new issues will be added)
2, enable the bugs/feature reqeusts in SF
3, I think some days later, we can clean up/digest all the issues in berliOS
What do you think?
BTW: If there is a way to translate the berliOS data to SF, that would be better.
EDIT:
I see this issue report by morten: #22161 (Transfer script for BerliOS->SourceForge) – sourceforge
But it was closed two years ago without any method mentioned:(
EDIT2:
I fire one in sourceforge, see: Forge / Feature Requests / #190 Is there any way to translate the bug/feature request data from berliOS to Sourceforge

I don't think this is a good idea.
The bug tracker on sf.net is awkward. If we're going to switch to something new it better be standalone bugtracker controlled by us.
So we can read its database move it to another platform, etc.
Almost all new/modern bugtrackers support import from older bugtrackers (mantis, bugzilla, trac).
Also I don't think we should bother much with moving the database, just make the berlios bugtracker read only for users and start a new one somewhere else.

Indeed what you suggest is the best alternative IMHO and even though I very much prefer trac for its simplicity, I would say bugzilla is much more appropriate for C::B as a whole. Anyhow, that's only my suggestion and should not be taken for granted.
Also, It would be really convenient if registered users could login to submit either tickets or suggestions.
I would not mind to QA the entire project for old pending tickets so you guys concentrate on improvements. The only reason I did not do so thus far is because I did not want to register on Berlios as well while I'm already registered here.

I am in support of this.

I think this send a negative signal to our bug reporters. Why can't we import the old reports including some metadata that says this is a berlios era bug report and links back to the original report (because we won't be able to transfer user names easily if at all)?
Details for getting an RSS dump of bugs etc from berlios are here:
