In my opinion and from personal experience, what has hindered contributions has been the need to have a fairly good understanding of Trac. Even when it comes to setup and configuration of Bloodhound it is mostly Trac related. I understand the reasons why the project was setup like this, but I think it may be time to look at alternatives as Gary has said. Especially as Olemis raises the concern that Trac might look towards supporting multi product/project in the future.
So is it time to think about a reboot of Bloodhound using more modern architectures and approaches? I would be happy to take part in any discussions on this approach. Cheers John.
