Given my minimal contribution so far I will abstain.

However, before any "vote" is taken I think it is important to  
discuss the issues. OTOH imagine how elections would work if we were  
required to provide justifications for our votes!

0) Jens - get yerself a better browser! ;-) FFS Omniweb :-D OTOH I  
also complain bitterly when one thing does not work with my favourite  
tool. Eventually I grew up and swapped NetPositive fer Opera ! :-P  
hm, the footer doesn't work proply with Opera 9.5!!!

1) I like the Canonical team: Steve Alexander is top and Gustavo  
Niemeyer has come up with a very reasonable ORM for Launchpad.

2) Data protection: hosting on launchpad.net might raise data  
protection issues for existing zope.org users.

3) I'm not particularly attached to the Zope collector but the UI for  
Launchpad isn't brilliant either. Trac's UI is lovely but its data  
model is totally borked. I'm planning to take a look at Roundup but  
the argument for consolidating Zope + CMF bugs on a single system is  
extremely persuasive.

4) It's great when someone else does the work for you and this should  
be underestimated.

5) E-mail integration: this has to work properly and should include  
reply by e-mail and reflect user preferences for whole or incremental  
history.

In conclusion: I'm still abstaining because, although the arguments  
for the "automated" migration are strong, we are under no time  
pressure and might like to see some features added before any migration.
