Another handy things I've done in the past is to create a page for myself in trac which makes it easy for others to assign tickets to me and for me to see what I need to work on in the future (backlog), what I'm working on now (current tasks) and a subset of what I've finished recently (since those are the ones I'll need to refer to in e-mail for the next month or so).
To do this I put a structure like this on the page: Create new '''[/newticket?type=task&owner=ben task]|[/newticket?type=defect&owner=ben defect]|[/newticket?type=enhancement&owner=ben enhancement]''' for ben ||'''Backlog''' ([[TicketQuery(owner=ben,status!=closed&status!=accepted,format=count)]])|| \ ||'''Active Tasks''' ([[TicketQuery(owner=ben,status=accepted,format=count)]])|| \ ||'''Completed in the past 30 days:''' [[TicketQuery(owner=ben,status=closed,format=count,modified=30daysago..)]] '''All time:''' [[TicketQuery(owner=ben,status=closed,format=count)]]|| ||[[TicketQuery(owner=ben,status!=closed&status!=accepted,format=table,col=summary,order=changetime,desc=true)]]|| \ ||[[TicketQuery(owner=ben,status=accepted,format=table,col=summary,order=changetime,desc=true)]]|| \ ||[[TicketQuery(owner=ben,status=closed,format=table,col=summary,modified=30daysago..,order=modified,desc=1)]]|| Just replace "ben" in all the places it occurs with your login name in your trac instance and you can see how this works. Not sure if I'm using anything that's not compatible with 0.11. The problem I'm still trying to solve is how do you track 'microtasks' basically things that are so quick to do that the overhead of creating a ticket in Trac is larger than the task itself. But so far I haven't come up with a solution. A former colleague of mine created a bookmarklet which let you highlight a string of text on any page in your browser and it would create a ticket from it using the selected text as the summary. But that kind of requires that the task have a textual description in your browser... For now I just leave those along and only track task that are over a certain scale (2+ hours of effort).
