Hi,

The work I did yesterday for a basic way of loading and dumping data was with the view to helping developers work with more realistic data.

So, before I do anything too rash, would it make sense for us to use the database from issues.apache.org/bloodhound as a fixture?

Perhaps with the exception of some entries in the permission table, I don't think there is anything much that is unavailable through the site itself with anonymous permissions so I don't *think* that there would be any sensitive data to worry about. It seems worth a sanity check anyway to see if I have missed anything.

If that works for everyone, I don't intend to provide attachments as part of the fixtures yet. If, for example, you eventually wanted to test how the new search components are doing with the searching within attachments (assuming that this is something we would want to be able to do), this would not yet provide for that. Also, there will clearly be actual errors associated with the missing files. Also, I am only likely to keep permissions for the anonymous, authenticated and the 'admin' user who will get TRAC_ADMIN permissions but that should be fairly easy for developers to sort out.

So, any concerns?

Cheers,
    Gary
