WorkingWithSourceForgeData
The SF data dump and the tools you can use to process it can be found at https://effbot.org/zone/sandbox-sourceforge.htm .
This page is meant to act as a place for users to mention any issues they have had with working with the data (for possible future improvement) or what is or is not important about the data.
From the perspective of the Infrastructure committee, this is test data. This means that the key point is to test out the tracker with a real, large dataset. This means, for instance, you can create usernames based on "First Last". As long as the usage is consistent (and thus any functionality provided by viewing user accounts exists), we are happy.
Since we do not have access to SF accounts directly, chances are old SF usernames will only be used so as to be consistent as to whom did what. This means using a "First Last" username instead of the SF username is acceptable.
It should also be mentioned that the edit history of a tracker item is not critical (this is the info saying who/when uploaded a file, added a comment, etc.). One group has already asked if they can leave it out and we said yes.
Also, plesae note that SourceForge has once again changed their HTML format and that has broken the tool. This means you should use the data dump that we provide instead of trying to scrape your own.
