My question would be is: how would this be integrated with trac? Using snowy as is (or making use of Tomboy Online) would pretty much create a separate repository for all of your notes... From my perspective that's just asking for trouble. Your users now have to go to 2 places to look at the material (Trac and Snowy) or somebody has to be responsible for moving the content from snowy to Trac (which will probably happen... until the person responsible gets busy). An extension for Tomboy to interact with Trac directly might be a better option (plugin to expose some interfaces and a plugin for Tomboy to talk to it).
My goal with trac has always been to try and get all of my company's relevant data either into trac (pages, tickets, blog posts, etc) or viewable from trac (build status from hudson). Though I'll admit that this hasn't been 100% successful. Many of the people in my company don't like trac's UI and started putting stuff all over the place which seriously reduced trac's utility (we have data in shares, wedav repositories, google docs and google sites). And this has created a host of problems. I'm not sure if the problem is due to trac actually being difficult to use or us not being willing to commit resources for improving the user experience. For my own personal use I maintain a pair of trac instances at home (one for me, and another for collaborative projects) and provide support for our needs in the form of plug-in installations and modifications. And occasionally development. To make highly effective use of trac a little bit of getting the hands dirty is required. Especially when you get out of its "comfort zone" (software development).
