Take a look at Custom workflows in Trac 0.11. I started writing a couple of blog entries on custom workflows in Trac 0.11- unfortunately I only got as far as the first one which covers getting started with making your own workflows and testing them (I know slightly bizarre writing the start and end with no middle, but it'll become clear when you look at the article) The custom workflows allow you to make a workflow in trac that mets your specific needs. In my last job (I started a new position on Monday this week) I set up a work flow that allowed us to defer tickets as well as put them through a QA phase. The examples that come with 0.11 includes a open source workflow and an "enterprise" workflow, both of which include QA phases if I remember correctly. The only problem I've found is that mylyn doesn't quite support custom workflows yet. The reporting in Trac 0.11 is much better as well. Although I don't know what your specific requirements for reporting are, so it could be it still isn't sufficient. I'm currently also playing with a stack of plugins that add to the user management, ticket tracking and management and wiki management. At some point I'll have to blog about that as well. Incidentally, Trac 0.11 was released as beta 1 last week. -- Stephen Moretti Blog : http://nil.checksite.co.uk/ Twitter : http://twitter.com/mr_nil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CFCDev" group.
