Roundup is there now, right (sans SF export)? Richard Jones has an SF importer for one of the two XML-like formats, the one that is correct XML but with incomplete data. The other format, which has complete data but is ill-formed XML, has no importer into roundup at the moment.

Trac is being used by the folks doing the new website. What other candidates are being considered? My view is that nothing should be "considered" unless there is a) a volunteer to operate the tracker (or, failing that, somebody who does it for money), and b) an importer of whatever data SF can provide.

There exists a Trac importer for SF data at http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/browser/trunk/contrib/sourceforge2trac.py though I don't know which format it does expect.

Generally, I like Trac very much, especially for its interconnected subsystems. I've used it with smaller projects, and there it works perfectly.

Having said that, I don't know if the Trac ticket system (which would be the most important subsystem for us) scales up well enough.

Of course, if there are only a few bits missing, instead of paying someone to operate a complicated tracker, perhaps the money could be used to pay someone to improve Trac...
