I could go either way. The trac wiki is just as usable as the sycamore wiki (or any other wiki) for this kind of data. Philip makes a good point about being person-oriented. We need to make it easy for jane and joe to notify us of a problem. Posting a note to a "Bugs" wiki page helps by making it easy to do and a familiar interface. Using sycamore to manage bugs about sycamore has the advantage because bug reporters don't have to learn a new wiki language. As far as having everything in one place... If that's a goal then we should force users to report bugs into trac directly. That would save a lot of developer's time but would be more cumbersome for bug reporters because they'd have to learn a new interface. So, my opinion is that we have the sycamore wiki for design docs/discussion (mainly because it's familiar and I don't want to taint my wiki knowledge by using multiple wikis), the trac wiki just point to the sycamore wiki (as it does now), and have users report bugs directly into the trac ticket tracker (I'm notoriously lazy). All discussion about a particular *bug* should be in the comments of the ticket (not on the mailing list). For *features* that require design changes, database changes, etc these should be made into a wiki page and a ticket should be added for that feature. There should be a link to the ticket in the wiki and to the wiki in the ticket. The discussion for large features could happen in the wiki or on the mailing list but it should be stored on the wiki for posterity. Comments?
