Hi all.

Ok, I have played with trac a bit, and some other supporting tools and
plugins, etc.  I managed to get my hands on a server to "properly"
host it on for our use internally.  The upper IT folks just refuse to
give us an outward facing server.  So all of our outsources, will get
vpn, or onsite access only, bummer, but a small step in the right
direction.

That said, the server we are getting is running windows.  I have seen/
browsed the "on windows" wikis out there, and all seems good.  here is
what I "hope" to run, and really just need to know if there are any
"gotchas" I need to know about ahead of time.  I also will have admin
rights on the box, but am not an IT admin anymore, so my windows
server knowledge is, well, lame nowadays.

anyway:

* assumption: running Apache on windows.
Trac
Subversion
probably php and all that jazz, although, at this moment, I have no
need for it.
the following plugins I am hoping to go with:
TimingAndEstimation
TracIniAdmin
TracAccountManager
TracUserManagerPlugin
XMLRPC plugin
MasterTicketsPlugin
and probably the black magic one.

Will have custom workflow, and probably have a handler hook as I want
to do some stuff behind the scenes on one of the transitions of the
workflow.

Ok, I am sure there are other I might want, or "NEED" but I KNOW I
would like those.  That said I also "want" to do the following:

Multi-project setup  1-4 active most likely, and eventually those
become a  maintenance stage, so still around.
I also "think" I would want to use windows authentication somehow (is
that ldap?) access to the subversion and trac environments.  simply
because outsources will be internal to the network, and may never
actually access trac directly.  I envision a eclipse/mylan interface
very possible to the subversion/trac data.  I also see direct
subversion access via subversion clients (TortiseSVN, svn command
line, etc.) which may never actually utilize the trac DB).  I have no
issue with requiring a second login to trac(via the nice web interface
in one of the above plugins, I forget which one), just not sure if it
is needed.  If there are other tools/plugins you think will make this
objective go more smoothly, great, I can use that too, please let me
know.  Things like TracMetrix etc. I might want to use, etc.
Basically, I need to manage multiple projects, which are managed by
multiple people, who manage multiple sources/levels of access. :D  All
on bleeping windows servers....with no external facing web access....

I think it's just the run of the mill TracOnWindows/Advanced path, but
was  looking for insight.

oh, yes, I personally prefer python 2.5, but seems like Apache needs
2.4, is that correct?  Anyone tried the windows bitNami installer?
that would work too.  etc.

I will try to really document well as I go, a future version of this
email from others is not needed in the mailing list.

Thanks.
