Folks,

If I may take the liberty, I'd like to make it clear there is a motion.

Motion: To migrate the GDAL project from bugzilla hosted at remotesensing.org
to Trac hosted at trac.osgeo.org/gdal, with Howard Butler performing the
translation.

---

As Howard notes, the current example translation is not the final one.  Before
Howard starts a final translation the gdal-dev mailing list will be notified
and the we will make some effort to disable GDAL bug handling in the bugzilla
as well as updating all the project pointers to the new trac.  The exact
timing will be up to Howard.

We are also doing some experiments of integrating the Doxygen generated
web site with Trac.  An rough example of this can be found at:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/doxygen

However, this motion only addresses migration of the bug database to trac,
and implicitly the use of the Trac wiki as a GDAL wiki.

Best regards,
