I'd like to second Craig's request. We use Trac/SVN with a large number of non-programmers (MDs, various types of scientists and even administrators), and I would argue that in comparison to some of the "collaboration tools" I've seen, Trac's interface is quite clean and usable (in fact, that's one of the reasons we chose it). However I'll admit that I'm not an expert in this area, and, like Craig, I'm also a programmer, so perhaps there's a bit of bias there. But, I'm curious: are there really specific usability enhancements that one might make to Trac? Note that this is different from the issue of adding features which would expand the scope of Trac (that's a different question) or just adding eye candy. -- Phil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
