Hello, We're looking at moving our bugbase, currently giving Trac a trial run, and in the process considering what possibilities it may offer us. We've been using Rational RequisitePro for tracking requirements, specifications, and even defects. That last one is quite a stretch I must say.
Now I'm curious about moving our requirements and specifications into Trac as well. Basically what RequisitePro gives you is the ability to tag and track items in a document. Our typical usage is to write a document, review it, and then tag it. Tagging is done quite easily by highlighting the text, entering attributes (field values) to use, and having it automatically make a database item of each paragraph (how it determines where one spec ends and the next begins is configurable). Now you've got a document that can be read as a document, plus trackable items in a database. I can imagine doing something similar with Trac but with my limited knowledge it seems like it would be very tedious to set up - writing up individual tickets for each spec and filling out fields for each (could at least be done all at once with BatchModify), then collecting them into one or more wiki pages using macros to include the description text (TicketQuery?). Any suggestions for doing it the other way - by writing and reviewing a wiki page first and then without a lot of manual effort making tickets of items on the page? Could this be done with a custom plug- in? Perhaps something that adds a button at the bottom of a wiki page that when pressed would process the page content, creating tickets, and replacing the current wiki content with macros to include the new tickets' text? - jevans --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
