It's a known feature that plugin management in Trac is not so end user friendly. - Plugins are hard to install due great variety of ways to install them. Direct dropping of EGG-file, easy_install variations, using setup.py etc. - Plugin compatiblity with certain version of Trac is not known. This can be seen in transition from 0.10 to 0.11. Specially there is at least few plugins that are 'abandoned' since 0.10 and will (propably) never get 0.11 upgrade. This is simple to resolve: stick with 0.10 till end of the world, upgrade to 0.11 and lose some functionality you used to have. - There is not end user friendly collection of plugins. Trac-Hacks is excellent site in count but to find something there is a bit painful, even more painful is trying to determine quality of plugin since there is no review or stats mechanism. - Do-it-as-a-plugin mentality. There is load of small requests to have small functionality, usually in core. Usually you get arrogant-appearing response 'Not in Trac can be done as a plugin'. Plugins are pretty heavyweight solution, so why there couldn't be simpler scripting interface to Trac? Basically you could write what old macros were directly through web page and they get executed when needed. This is just an idea. I've no clue is it really feasible or would it provide any additional value. -- Jani Tiainen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
