+== 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)
+Comments on script: The script has an error on line 168, ('Ticket' needs to be 'ticket').  Also, the listed values for severity and priority are swapped. 
+
+=== Using an Excel (.xls) or comma delimited file (.csv) ===
+This plugin http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketImportPlugin lets you import into Trac a series of tickets from a CSV file or (if the xlrd library is installed) from an Excel file.
+
+You can also use it to modify tickets in batch, by saving a report as CSV, editing the CSV file, and re-importing the tickets.
+
+This plugin is very useful when starting a new project: you can import a list of requirements that may have come from meeting notes, list of features, other ticketing systems... It's also great to review the tickets off-line, or to do massive changes to tickets.
+
+Based on the ticket id (or, if no id exists, on the summary) in the imported file, tickets are either created or updated.
