PS. Is Trac really as good as people seem to think it is? I've not started using it, but I certainly like the *look* of it?
Well, the MacPorts people switched to Trac advertising it as "our wonderful new Trac", and indeed for the first year I wondered how to use it, especially for searching bugs.
I ended up simply ignoring all courtesy, and submitted everything as a new bug and let the core devs classify them or find dupes. The number of dupes I've run into suggests that's what everybody does on MacPorts. :-(
At this point that Trac has gotten somewhat better, but I would say that when you start up you probably need to pay careful attention to configuration, especially to priming it with useful searches.
