Oh, one more thing I wanted to say.... Fossil is awesome with not just 
it's integrated ticket and wiki system but it's integrated and 
DISTRIBUTED ticket and wiki system. That's huge. Other SCM's can't touch 
it even with Redmine/Trac. One suggested just using a distributed ticket 
system that stores it's tickets in the repo. That works for the 
developers, but what if some user comes along on the web interface and 
adds a new ticket? No one has been able to achieve that (yet).

But, for all that, the lack of a complete wiki syntax (i.e. wiki = quick 
quick, not HTML!) still kills it for others and has just about killed it 
for me. I still have about 2% of my heart in continuing with Fossil, but 
that's not much.

Fossil has the potential to be a fantastic piece of software but is 
shooting itself in the foot with a huge canon with it's so-called, 
non-standard wiki syntax. Again, I'm not saying there is ONE wiki syntax 
that EVERYONE uses, but I am saying there ARE a few STANDARD wiki 
formats, of which Fossil wants nothing to do with for some reason that's 
far beyond me.
