Hi,

I find Trac an excellent tool for managing source code development in a 
team, given its tight integration between code browsing, bugs and wiki 
pages.
Though, from my little experience, whenever the information managed 
through wiki pages grows beyond a trivial dimension, it becomes somewhat 
difficult to browse such information in a very convenient way.
Usually you have a tree of linked pages, and you have to continuously go 
through the root page, in order to find the information you need (unless 
of course you prefer to search... directly the page).

So, my question is: is there any plan to support tight integration of a 
wiki browsing feature (for seeing what wiki pages are available at a 
certain hierarchical level and directly accessing them), something that 
is automatically managed by the system and that can barely resemble a 
"Resource Explorer" like commonly found as left panels on GUI-oriented 
filesystem browsers or IDEs ?
Of course, the standard Index of Trac would resemble that, but it 
disappears once you follow one of the pages. Instead, I'd like to see 
something that remains always visible. I could experiment a litlle bit 
with the "[TOC(...)]" macro, that would resemble what I need, but its 
main limitation resides in that it has to be replicated on each 
wiki-page over which I want the TOC to appear, and also I see it creates 
problems when trying to use other plug-ins like WikiToPDF, that does not 
understand those macros and complains in the generated output.

What I'd like to see, is a (optional) left-panel showing the hierarchy 
of pages you are browsing, considering that most of the time it is 
convenient for developers to organize hierarchically the information, 
i.e.: ComponentName/Requirements, ComponentName/TestCases, ...

Thanks for your attention.

Regards,

   Tommaso
