+
+To migrate issue tickets from other issue-tracking systems or perform housekeeping actions on tickets or simply synchronize different databases, there are some tools, plug-ins and scripts available, which let you import or update tickets into Trac. 
+
+== !TicketImportPlugin ==
+
+[http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketImportPlugin TicketImportPlugin]: this plug-in lets you import or update into Trac a series of tickets from a '''CSV file''' or (if the [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd xlrd library] is installed) from an '''Excel spreadsheet'''. 
+
+== !ExportImportXlsPlugin ==
+
+[http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/ExportImportXlsPlugin ExportImportXlsPlugin]: this plug-in adds an admin panel for exporting and importing tickets via '''XLS file'''. Requires the python packages xlwt/rxld.
 
 == Bugzilla ==
 
-Ticket data can be imported from Bugzilla using the [http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/contrib/bugzilla2trac.py bugzilla2trac.py] script, available in the contrib/ directory of the Trac distribution.
+[http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/BugzillaIssueTrackingPlugin BugzillaIssueTrackingPlugin]: integrates Bugzilla issue data into Trac keeping TracLinks. Ticket data can be imported from Bugzilla using the [trac:browser:trunk/contrib/bugzilla2trac.py bugzilla2trac.py] script, available in the contrib/ directory of the Trac distribution.

 The script provides a number of features to ease the conversion, such as:
-
-  * PRODUCT_KEYWORDS:  Trac doesn't have the concept of products, so the script provides the ability to attach a ticket keyword instead.
-
-  * IGNORE_COMMENTS:  Don't import Bugzilla comments that match a certain regexp.
-
-  * STATUS_KEYWORDS:  Attach ticket keywords for the Bugzilla statuses not available in Trac.  By default, the 'VERIFIED' and 'RELEASED' Bugzilla statuses are translated into Trac keywords.

+== Jira ==
+
+[http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/JiraToTracIntegration JiraToTracIntegration]: provides tools to import Atlassian Jira backup files into Trac. The plug-in 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.

-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
