I'm getting similar push-back here in our Fossil vs. Trac bake-off. To the non-software-developer Windows users, Trac "just works". Which means the Fossil-loving SW folks here may have to suck it up. Which we certainly are able to do. Too bad. Having a single platform at a small company like ours really matters. I'm going to try to drag my feet on the final decision until I see what comes out of the Fossil code sprint. -BobC _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
