Hi there

Thrilling to see things moving.

I'm a long time trac user and was looking forward to bloodhound to become a
trac with a better look and usability.

I think the discussion here about basing bloodhound on trac or on django /
flask misses an important point:

trac is actually more than just a web development framework. it provides
quite a lot of features that bloodhound builds on.
the core issue-tracking is only one part. Things I quite like about trac is
the tightly integrated wiki system and the various possibilities for
querying the issues data.
Agreed there is some cruft that comes with trac too...
Newly implementing some of these parts that make trac and bloodhound great,
definitely means quite a lot of work.

The main appeal of bloodhound to me was that it was built "on the
shoulders" of trac and didn't need to reimplement a lot of stuff that trac
just has out of the box. It was a head start comparrf to starting an issue
tracker from scratch.
The question is, are there enough people willing to spend their time for a
complete new implementation of the x-th issue tracking system?

I don't want to appear discouraging, I really like django and I would
certainly be happy if bloodhound evolved.
But the purpose of the bloodhound project would change quite radically from
bringing a better UI to trac to building a new issue tracking system from
scratch.
If the separation from trac really pushes the project forward then this
would be great! Perhaps whilst keeping some of the "spirit" of trac.

Cheers
Samuel
