Trac is powerful, but it is also complex. We use it internally for or corporate dev intranet, and the power is great. It is just a pain for some OSS work where all you really want is working VCS and a way to host documentation. The fact wiki is in vcs also makes it possible to do things like generate documentation and check that in. (think doxygen checked in and pulled from the repository). Very interesting way to keep documentation up to date. > I only took a very cursory look at github, as I'm not sure we want to go git > all > the way.

The servers would be down, the administration was a pain, etc. Google just seems a lot more reliable and higher performance.
