Excellent response!
Yes, I'd love to see RoundUp's 'nosy' feature make it into Trac as well.

First off, let me say that I love Trac. It's been a huge help to my
development group. However, I'm not sure I would want to make the
argument of Trac over Roundup. I've been a big fan of Roundup
since way
back, and I would love to see it get the kind of momentum that you
mention
Trac having. Roundup has always had some great ideas and I think
it has
some powerful features that would be really useful for OSS
development.
I think Roundup's strongest points are:
--email notification, especially the nosy list
I find that Trac's email notification never works quite the way I
want
it to. Either I turn on the always_notify_x switches and get too
many
emails or I turn it off and get too few. Roundup's nosy list
concept is
simple, intuitive, and very powerful. I'd love to see it
implemented in
Trac.
--generic object model
Roundup's flexibility in creating new object types with states and
interlinking is very nice. I've seen the Trac Object Model
Proposal and
it looks like an attempt to implement a similar idea for Trac,
which would
be great. http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/

--Easy setup
While this wouldn't be an issue in this instance, Roundup is no
problem
to install and get running while Trac can be an absolute nightmare
with
all of its dependencies.
Trac's strongest points in comparison to Roundup are:
--Much more polished look-and-feel
It looks and works great out of the box (assuming you can
actually get
all its dependencies installed).
--Tight integration (subversion, wiki, ticketing)
--Clean plugin model for extension
I think that both are very well designed, but I'd love to see
Roundup get
the kind of attention that Trac has gotten and see where Roundup goes.

Subject:[Trac] sell Guido on Trac
I'm (privately, via email) trying to sell Guido (Python BDFL) on the
use of Trac vs. Roundup for future Python development (e.g., Python
3000).
How would I make the case to him?
The main advantage I would see in Trac is it's excellent Subversion
integration, which is not really built-in to RoundUp, plus Trac's
much greater momentum in the OSS worlds.
Cheers!
