Hi, Tweaking Trac seems to be in the air, so I had some more ideas to suggest :)
The "component" field in Trac is very useful when people look for tickets in their areas of familiarity/expertise. I think there are a few things that should be cleaned up to make the system a bit more useful and effective: * The "Contrib apps" component [1] should be made redundant and new components for each missing contrib app (e.g. contenttypes, sitemaps) should be added. I mean, even databrowse has its own component! :) The "Contrib app" mixes lots of unrelated things, making it a bit pointless. * For consistency, the "Authentication" component should be renamed to django.contrib.auth, and "RSS framework" to django.contrib.syndication. * Clarify what the "Core framework" component [2] means, as it ends up being used for a lot of irrelevant things (for example, I've just cleaned out a lot of ORM-related tickets). Note that django.core.mail has its own component, but there are so many things that could be considered as part of the core framework that it might be difficult and counter-productive to split it in a gazillion components (as opposed to the number of contrib apps which is reasonably small and will never grow). At the very least, the name "Core framework" should be disambiguated if possible. * Merge the "User experience" component [3] with django.contrib.admin since it contains very few tickets and the vast majority of user experience related tickets will likely always be related to the admin anyway. What do you think?
