Do you already have a phpGW installation that runs in productive mode ?

I mean the export of savannah data to phpGW makes sense, but i dont know
wheather its worth to define a whole export format, if we can just write 
a conversion script which reads from svannah DB (maybe using savannah code)
and writes into phpGW.

I cant say how many people/companies out there really use SF (and maybe in
cooperation with phpGW). If its not so many, I would do it the straight forward
way:

This would result in to tasks being done at the same time:
 1) A conversion tool, that reads from savannah and writes into 
    phpGW
 2) Porting the savannah features to phpGW, which are not _so_ many, from my
    first look at phpGW (e.g. they have projects, they have a trouble ticket
    system).

What do you think?
