Hello Christian,
aforementioned page had been one of the first I've visited, when I came
from OpenStreetMap.org looking for the home of the issue tracker used
over there.
Once I sent an inquiry to add two real Trac sites of that project, but
got no feedback. Same is true for some requests I directed to you
lately. If there is a problem, and you didn't receive anything at your
side, I'd want to know.
Sorry, I don't recall receiving anything like that... either my failing
memory or my failing mail delivery system ;-)
Sure, a short note, stating why I'll get no
further reaction would always be nice to not wait in false hope of any
response for months, you know? However, I know that you must be busy for
sure.
Now with a user account I could add the hints on my own, if there wasn't
your "ban" of new entries.
~~I think the ban should still hold until we clean up the page and are
able to quickly monitor the validity of new entries. In the meantime I
gave you WIKI_ADMIN perms (you already had WIKI_DELETE), so that you
can edit the page as you see fit. ~~
Well, after writing the first draft of this mail, I just changed my mind
and think we may actually get more efficiency by
spreading the work among possible other interested contributors:
therefore CC'ing to Trac-Dev and made the page writable again ;-)
It would be good to re-validate all links, I would say a good 2/3
shouldn't be there anymore (no link to Trac site, link to invalid site,
people not using Trac anymore, etc.), as well as adding a few links or
mention to prominent open source users like the ICU site, Twisted,
OpenSceneGraph, the IETF, etc., (the mention that the "NASA uses Trac"
I see on Wikipedia's Trac page makes me smile each time I see it ;-) ).
If you're up for a rework of that page, I'd gladly start it with you,
it's something I wanted to do since a long time but always feared to
have to do all of this by myself...
So I think we should start by pre-pending:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(edit policy notice)
== Open Source projects using Trac
Start with edgewall.org, trac-hacks.org ;-)
(continue with projects using Trac to the full extent, i.e. wiki +
ticket system + source browser)
(then with projects using Trac partially)
== Companies using Trac
(alphabetical order - no links unless it's a link to a public Trac site)
== Unreviewed
(the current content)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, when someone feels like doing a review, "reserve" some links range
by making a quick edit like this:
{{{#!div style="font-size:70%"
//<me> is doing a review of the following links://
(the 20-40 links you're going to review at a time)
}}}
Then you can take your time for doing the actual check, dispatching
entries as appropriate in the open source/companies sections mentioned
above (or discarding them), without risk of duplicated work.
You still risk to have a few bits of merging to do when saving your
changes, but that shouldn't be difficult given we would just have to add
entries from both sides.
Looks like no one is actually taking the time
for the requested review. If you agree, I could do it bit by bit within
some time and report back or just act as I see the need to do (according
to the policy already clearly stated at that page). What do you think?
Thanks for taking care.
Thanks for caring as well!
