Thanks a lot, I found out about plug-in after I send the email. I will look into it. I am wondering how easy it is for user to pick plug-in they want to add to Trac? I could implement many features into many plug-in then it become very difficult for user to install it. I would assume there is a notion of plug-in package at Trac hacks or something that make it easy to customize plugin for a specific projects.
John, thanks for your input. The changes definitely affect the workflow one way or another. I think it would be great to have workflow link in the User documentation. This would give user the good guilde line on how to fully utilized the tool. There are many thing that user ignore. They would get a lot of benefits if they provide more information from the beginning. -- Deen On Mar 22, 11:28 am, John Hampton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Khundeen wrote: > > I am Deen.
