migration question - can we still view the old forge?

[gsbe]

The tracker migration worked well - thanks!

All the tracker moves have placed my tracker items as "Open". I'd like to review my old JForge project site and figure out which ones we had closed. Is this possible?

Mateusz has a full backup of the tracker items, maybe he can send you a quick dump. You want this for Gigcalendar I presume (and not for juice)?

[gsbe]

that's right, for gigCalendar. I'm reviewing the list and realizing that many of these tracker items have been addressed and were likely closed. If I can't review the old info in a browser I'm not interested, though. Too much time to figure out all the details of a huge database dump. I can probably just look through what is there and figure it out for the most part. Thanks for your help.

There's need of an explanation here

While doing forge backup I had no technical possibility to get the artifact history. This means status open and description only.
Few days ago, right before forge shutdown I had an idea to actually save all artifact pages with some fancy shell script. Many thanks to Pasamio as he gave me idea how to write that.

Anyway, artifacts full history is ready and waiting in safe place and scheduled to be put to joomlacode next week. The tricky thing about it is that I have to write some fancy code parsing those files and putting each status change + comment.

If you need it badly just let me know and I'll try to send you html pages with your artifacts.

darn. I guess I shouldn't have moved all my migrated tracker info already.

Oh well......thanks for the info. Besides the mailing lists, I believe the new forge to be running very smoothly. Thanks to everyone for their hard work!
