Dear OGF Groups,¶

Most groups have by now migrated their operations from GridForge to
Redmine. Over the last days, we have been migrating documents from
the various GridForge projects to the respective Redmine projects. We
plan a similar migration of tracker items (sorry, we can't give a
timeline for that, yet).

A couple of notes about the document migration:

• The documents (incl. the folder structure) have been moved into a
  separate folder on your redmine project's document module. That
  folder is named 'gridforge'. That way, the migrations would not
  collide with existing redmine documents. Note that you can move
  folders and documents to other folders, as needed.

• For some GridForge projects, we do not have equivalent redmine
  projects. The respective documents have been moved to a separate
  archival project:

  http://redmine.ogf.org/dmsf/migration-archive

  Please let us know if you want to have access to that project,
  (it is publicly readable though), and if you want to have
  parts of that archive migrated to specific redmine projects.

• We are aware of some problems, but decided not to delay the
  migration as several groups are waiting for the documents.
  Please let us know if you encounter faulty migrations. In
  particular, you may encounter folders which cannot be opened.
  Please pop me a note, and I'll make sure that this is getting
  fixed timely.

  Those problems should be rare though (so far 2 documents made
  trouble, out of O(100) checked).

It is very likely that for many redmine accounts, permissions are not
yet set correctly. In particular, chair and secretary roles may not
yet be assigned to your account. Please let me know when you have
trouble with permissions, and I'll flip the preciousss bitsesss...

Best, Andre.
