i kind of test-copied some of the contents to the trac wiki
https://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/gar, to check the conversion effort.

in the "ideal world" i would like to see one timeline about ticket
changes, and checkins, or checkins influencing tickets automatically
with something like
http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/contrib/trac-post-commit-hook.

what i was also wondering who is administrator of this trac, to chekc
if one coudl install/enable some plugins to really give it a try?

rupert.
