All this traffic on the group is great! I was worried that MacRuby was going to whither a die.
I've been trying on and off for a while (since 0.6 ?), to try to get into MacRuby dev and help out, but, sadly, life and work gets in the way.
From my perspective, the best thing would be better developer documention. If I want to fix X, I should look in file Y. 
This may not be possible immediately, but I think getting Laurent to help out here would be critical.

Second, I'd like to see MacRuby be on par with all the other Ruby implementations.
To me the simplest benchmark would be supporting Rails and being an option on Travis CI.
I've encountered problems with this with respect to running autotest, but I think we can get there!

I'm ready. What can I do to help?

I will have time, but not until the 16th or 17th. If that time frame works, then I should be able to handle it. @bill I don't need the SQL dump unless we need something that's not exposed by the CSV reports. @matt As far as I can tell so far, I can map email addresses to github usernames as long as their email address is public on github. I'm still looking into the different possibilities.

Jake,

Would you have time to continue with this effort, or should I continue looking into the import?

Thanks,
dan

I have already tried importing the tickets to GitHub at http://github.com/theviolentbear/macruby-issues usinghttps://github.com/adamcik/github-trac-ticket-import. I was doing it so I could have offline access to tickets, but someone let me know that it was being discussed on the mailing list. It didn't properly escape code blocks nor did it import most of the metadata or respect the GitHub API limits, but it kind of worked as you can see.

Can we get the issues section enabled on github and move off of Trac? (Not sure how hard it would be to import all of the old trac stuff to Github).

Would be nice to consolidate everything in one place.

I think that?s an excellent idea. However, it?s probably better to first import tickets from Trac before we open it up for new tickets, because that won't leave any risk for damaging any tickets opened before the old tickets are imported and also avoids people spending time on duplicate tickets.

Are you interested in investigating this?

Can you import before it's open? I just assumed it wasn't accessible at all
until enable? It looks like forgeplucker (http://home.gna.org/forgeplucker/)
has support to pull tickets out of trac and dump to JSON. Should be pretty
easy to go from JSON to GitHub API I'd expect.

I can take a look and see what's involved.

Well, we?d open it once the import is ready to be performed. Until then it can be tested out with a dummy repo :)

I can take a look and see what's involved.

Awesome! Thanks.
