JIRA/Greenhopper Migration Tools

I'm working at a .Net shop that's migrating away from Jira/Greenhopper. We could use a migration assistant of some sort. Possible?

    Unfortunately, we do not have any migration tools for Jira/Greenhopper. However, Urban Turtle stores everything within Team Foundation Server. We do not use another database or anything. This means that if migration tools exist to migrate from Jira to TFS, you could use this without any issue.

    Hi Louis,

    It is possible to dump the contents of a jira project into an excel spreadsheet, massage the columns into a tfs format, and then upload that. Which looks like what I'm going to do.

    But this loses various meta-information including the components hierarchy (= areas?) card and swimlane configuration, etc, which would all be available in a jira xml backup. There have been open tools that attempt to sync jira and tfs on this basis (jira2tfs) but it appears these are all presently defunct.

    And it appears Atlassian has made a policy decision not to support such migrations. Which might make sense for them in the short term. In the long term ... not so much.

    Anyway the reason I'm asking you is it occurs to me you're going to get a lot of customers coming down this channel, so you might want to make it easier for us.
