This is interesting. I'm looking for ways to make Trac more "forge-like",
basically to create some kind of community around multiple Trac
environment on a single install.
For me, the default "listing of projects" when you access the root of the
trac install could be a trac itself, with its own wiki, templates and
bugtracker. It could have special plugins for tracking project and user
activity, as gforge does for example.
I would be interested in finding ways of making this a reality in Trac. We
would like to start a forge here, but I find gforge has a ... well...
charged history and is a bit bloated. I like the minimalist "no bullshit"
approach trac has.
For me the main issues to make this work at this point are:
1. have a way for the account manager plugin to manage apache or
authz_svn "groups", the same way it currently manages user accounts. this
is critical to have credentials isolation from a project to the other
2. make the "root trac listing" be a bit more fleshed out. this can be
either:
1. by making that a mostly "static" (as in not modifiable without
hacking the source) content that would display projects statistics
2. by making that a complete trac install with custom plugins for
activity
As for the original idea of the bug, I think a simple solution would be to
allow InterWiki linking through the difference projects. Just prefix the
usual links by the project name and you're done. So for example, you have
2 projects environment on your trac install: projecta and projectb.
* to link to a wiki page, you simply use: projecta:WikiStart or
projectb:WikiStart
* to link to a bug: projecta:#349
* to link to a file: projecta:source:trunk/
* to link to a revision: projecta:[1234]
* etc...
Wikis have been networked like this forever and it works like a charm.
