Hi,

I'm having similar requirements. I'm looking into a XML based storage 
under source control and then a plugin to grab and format the 
information from there. Something similar is already done in the 
TestCaseManagementPlugin [1], but there the information of the stored 
XML is used for automatic ticket creation and reporting.

I have not yet thought about a linking or automated WIKI page creation 
from the source, esp. how to distinguish between the different branched 
versions of the requierements. With the XML information at hand, one 
could also generate a requirements traceability matrix and a lot of 
other nice things. But this is only in my head. I have no code to show.

The reason for keeping the requirements with the software under source 
control, is simply that requirements change. Except bug fixing, every 
version of the software exposes a different set of requirements since 
every checkin will extend or modify the current set of requirements. 
Since you can not easily create wiki pages that follow your software 
versions (e.g. see the discussion about the trac documentation itself) 
it is necessary to store the information under source control.

Best regards
Dirk
