Hi,

I have read some of the proposals, for multi project trac. How do
people feel about it, because trac is fine for a small project but
breaks down when you get to a stage where you are working on many
projects at once. Is trac going to support those features or stay the
way it is? How do users feel about it.
The very brief overview is that there are some plugins and 3rd-party tools around now that do "heavyweight" multi-project support. This means each project gets its own Environment. The flavor it looks like Trac core will adopt is a much lighter-weight system where most of the tables just get an extra "project" column, and the UI is restructured a bit. Both options have their ups and downs, and I think both will exist in parallel for a while at least.

This is something that my company has a need for, so I'm curious to hear about solutions. 
 Is the TracForgePlugin the "recommended" plugin for this?  Anything else worth 
looking at?

As far as "should this go into trac core or in another layer?"  I tend to favor 
the latter, both to keep trac core minimalist and also to decouple needs, though 
obviously sufficient hooks need to be in place in order to make this work well.  But I 
haven't really looked at the problem space so I'll stop running my mouth off now.

TracForge is the only major option that has been ported to 0.11 AFAIK (though it still needs more work). I agree the TracForge approach should stay well out of Trac core, and hopefully the other developers will agree with me.
