Right, but I do not see how child/parent, blocks/blocked by, and such relationships will be required for the user. They are some of an administrative issue and if a user registers a ticket and we subsequently hang it under a specific parent ticket it will only be a field displayed on viewing the ticket, not on entering. So I think that is sort of a non-issue. With regard to the UI, I agree, but at the same time we are also not making full use of the browser's full width given to us. I do not think I am alone in having a wide screen lcd monitor nowadays and even using my browser at half the width of the monitor the Trac ticket data cuts that available width in half.

I am not sure if I am more in favour of adding some key feature functionality into Trac proper or putting it in a default added plugin. It also depends on its development since it does make a difference a bit whether it's maintained in the main repository or somewhere else. The question still remains: what feature set? -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ | GPG: 2EAC625B My greatest fear...
