Back at the beginning of June, the Python Software Foundation's Infrastructure committee sent out an email requesting people to help us find a replacement tracker for SourceForge (the original announcement can be found at http://wiki.python.org/moin/CallForTrackers ).  We asked that people put test trackers loaded with a data dump of Python's SourceForge tracker data online for us to play with.  We said that we would close acceptance of test trackers as of August 7.

That close date is a little over a month away!  If you want to help get your favorite tracker up and going for the Infrastructure committee to evaluate, please visit http://wiki.python.org/moin/CallForTrackers and see if you can help out!  We already have a tracker for JIRA up and loaded with the SF data to poke around with.  There are also Trac and Roundup trackers in the planning stages that could use some help in getting the SF data imported and getting the servers up.  In order for a tracker to be considered it *must* have the SF data loaded up.  This will be a necessary step if the tracker is accepted, plus it lets us see how well the tracker lets us manage a large number of bugs.

If you have questions or concerns, please email infrastructure at python.org (it is subscription-protected, but your email will be accepted; the subscription page is at http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure ).  Thank you to those that have helped so far and those that do in the future.
