What you've added to SourceForge is exactly what we need most.
I'm inclined to give you write access to the Savannah tree, if you're
willing to help integrate your changes into Savannah. I guess ljulliar
is your prefered Savannah account name ?
ljulliar is my login name on Savannah. That would be good for me to be
given write access to the CVS repo but I think we must go through
preliminary steps before i do that (see my reply to Christian)
As we all know, the un-templatized nature of the SF 2.0 code
imposes a fair amount of manual tweaking.
I had a look at the Savannah code some motnhs ago and I don;t think the
Xerox code will need a lot of tweaking.

I'm ready to help Mathieu here.
I'd be interested to help you
integrate the data export (import ?) facility. This is something we
need badly and the current XML export that we have is not really
functional.
We also considered the XML based export at the beginning of oor project
but then realized that very few end-user applications (espcially Office
kind of applications) can digest XML formatted input. So we sticked to
CSV (comma separated values) which is rudimentary but works well.
This being said I think it night be a better idea to start with the bug
tracking system and then the export facility.
