+= Importing ticket data =
+
+== Bugzilla ==
+
+Ticket data can be imported from Bugzilla using the [http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/contrib/bugzilla2trac.py bugzilla2trac.py] script, available in the contrib/ directory of the Trac distribution.
+
+{{{
+$ bugzilla2trac.py
+bugzilla2trac - Imports a bug database from Bugzilla into Trac.
+
+Usage: bugzilla2trac.py [options]
+
+Available Options:
+  --db <MySQL dbname>              - Bugzilla's database
+  --tracenv /path/to/trac/env      - full path to Trac db environment
+  -h | --host <MySQL hostname>     - Bugzilla's DNS host name
+  -u | --user <MySQL username>     - effective Bugzilla's database user
+  -p | --passwd <MySQL password>   - Bugzilla's user password
+  -c | --clean                     - remove current Trac tickets before importing
+  --help | help                    - this help info
+
+Additional configuration options can be defined directly in the script.
+}}}
+
+Currently, the following data is imported from Bugzilla:
+
+  * bugs
+  * bug activity (field changes)
+  * bug attachments
+  * user names and passwords (put into a htpasswd file)
+
+The script provides a number of features to ease the conversion, such as:
+
+  * PRODUCT_KEYWORDS:  Trac doesn't have the concept of products, so the script provides the ability to attach a ticket keyword instead.
+
+  * IGNORE_COMMENTS:  Don't import Bugzilla comments that match a certain regexp.
+
+  * STATUS_KEYWORDS:  Attach ticket keywords for the Bugzilla statuses not available in Trac.  By default, the 'VERIFIED' and 'RELEASED' Bugzilla statuses are translated into Trac keywords.
+
+For more details on the available options, see the configuration section at the top of the script.
+
+== Sourceforge ==
+
+Ticket data can be imported from Sourceforge using the [http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/contrib/sourceforge2trac.py sourceforge2trac.py] script, available in the contrib/ directory of the Trac distribution.
+
+See #Trac3521 for an updated sourceforge2trac script.
+
+== Mantis ==
+
+The mantis2trac script now lives at http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MantisImportScript. You can always get the latest version from http://trac-hacks.org/changeset/latest/mantisimportscript?old_path=/&filename=mantisimportscript&format=zip
+
+Mantis bugs can be imported using the attached script.
+
+Currently, the following data is imported from Mantis:
+  * bugs
+  * bug comments
+  * bug activity (field changes)
+  * attachments (as long as the files live in the mantis db, not on the filesystem) 
+
+If you use the script, please read the NOTES section (at the top of the file) and make sure you adjust the config parameters for your environment.
+
+mantis2trac.py has the same parameters as the bugzilla2trac.py script:
+{{{
+mantis2trac - Imports a bug database from Mantis into Trac.
+
+Usage: mantis2trac.py [options] 
+
+Available Options:
+  --db <MySQL dbname>              - Mantis database
+  --tracenv /path/to/trac/env      - Full path to Trac db environment
+  -h | --host <MySQL hostname>     - Mantis DNS host name
+  -u | --user <MySQL username>     - Effective Mantis database user
+  -p | --passwd <MySQL password>   - Mantis database user password
+  -c | --clean                     - Remove current Trac tickets before importing
+  --help | help                    - This help info
+
+Additional configuration options can be defined directly in the script.
+}}} 
+
+== Jira ==
+
+The [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/JiraToTracIntegration Jira2Trac plugin] provides you with tools to import Atlassian Jira backup files into Trac.
+
+The plugin consists of a Python 3.1 commandline tool that:
+
+ - Parses the Jira backup XML file
+ - Sends the imported Jira data and attachments to Trac using the [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin XmlRpcPlugin]
+ - Generates a htpasswd file containing the imported Jira users and their SHA-512 base64 encoded passwords
+
+== Other ==
+
+Since trac uses a SQL database to store the data, you can import from other systems by examining the database tables. Just go into [http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html sqlite] command line to look at the tables and import into them from your application.
+
+=== Using a comma delimited file - CSV ===
+See [http://trac.edgewall.org/attachment/wiki/TracSynchronize/csv2trac.2.py] for details.  This approach is particularly useful if one needs to enter a large number of tickets by hand. (note that the ticket type type field, (task etc...) is also needed for this script to work with more recent Trac releases)
