New bug tracker and community forums

New bug tracker and community forums available
In our effort to provide developers and OpenChange followers the best quality of services, we have finally decided to change our bug tracking system and move from trac to redmine. This new system provides a wiki (which may potentially replace existing wiki.openchange.org on long-term) and has forums enabled (which replaces the existing and buggy openchange website one).
All the tickets and milestones from trac have been migrated to the new service, however we have removed existing accounts for security reasons and kindly ask you to create new accounts on the new tracker.
Please also note that OpenChange forums have been recreated on the tracker and both links to the tracker and forums are available from openchange.org website menu. Depending on DNS propagation, tracker access may be a bit hazardous for the next 48 hours. You can access the tracker at the following address:
- tracker.openchange.org or from the menu (Developer > Bug Tracker and Developer > Community Forum)
