Hello again and thanks for all your feedback!
@Rob, many thanks for your offer but only the cleaning out of the 1M
mostly fake user profiles from the database would keep you or me busy
for hours. Since everybody seems to be happy working with github, I
guess we'll take the most obvious path. I'll reserve some time the
upcoming weekend to migrate the active tickets into the Roundcube
github project. Older tickets will probably go into a separate project
just to serve as an archive.
I already activated the wiki feature at
https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/wiki. We're now looking for
volunteers to skim our Trac wiki and copy the pages which are still
relevant into the Github wiki. I guess this has to be a manual process
and is a good exercise to clean out all the old rubbish which doesn't
apply anymore. So if anybody is willing to spend some time reviewing
the wiki pages at http://trac.roundcube.net, please let us know.
Kind regards,
Thomas
