Log Message:
A description of what can be found in this directory.
--- NEW FILE: README.txt ---
This directory contains some scripts that Jeremy Hylton wrote for
working with the SourceForge bug manager. They do two things:
1. Yank data from a JitterBug database and upload it to SourceForge.
 This isn't needed for Python anymore, but it may still be useful
 for someone.
2. Pull data from the SourceForge bug manager and populate a local
 database with the information. Data is extracted by scraping the
 SourceForge HTML responses for actual information. The local
 database can be used to efficiently process ad hoc queries that
 would be difficult to perform using SourceForge directly, and
 would have been impossible at the time these scripts were first
 written.
The catch: these scripts were written before SourceForge merged their
bug and patch managers to create their general "tracker" facility, and
before their framework became as skinnable as it is today. This code
will need some measure of revision before it can be used again, but
should serve as a nice start for creating an updated form of such
tools.
