I'm actually an almost-expert with GForge (we offer a range of GForge
courses, including Administration/management, and I hacked around the
code quite a bit), but at present my time is somewhat limited. I did
submit a bunch of bugs/fixes for the soon-to-be-released version some
time ago. I'm not sure if they have been corrected, but IMHO, many of
them are "show stoppers", there's also a bunch of data type issues with
PG 8.3 and GForge - I'm also not sure if they've been fixed. I'm
assuming we'd want to move to the latest release...

I would agree that its definitely not a small project. There have been
lots of changes, esp to the SQL code, and several less-used facets might
still be untested.

If there's a list of tasks, I can probably pick and do some of them...
