Having failed to persuade this community that putting multiple project

I don't think that the above is accurate, as many people would like to have
support for multiple projects.
The problem at this point is rather to have a clear picture of what the
support
for multiple project within Trac should be, and then how it should be
implemented.
The only consensus on this so far is that this will be a post 1.0 feature :)
the apparently more acceptable idea of having a separate web application
which coordinates and views multiple Trac instances. I have trawled
Close to the above suggestion, I think that it might be possible to
create a kind of ''virtual'' environment, which merely aggregates
the data from other ''regular'' Trac environments.
If this approach is possible at all, I'd personaly favor it, because:
* no drastic change to the code base would be needed
* the current concepts and granularity will remain the same
* there will be great flexibility in how to compose groups of projects
through the responses to my previous posts and have come up with this:

It is currently a list of requirements which I haven't even sorted into
order of importance. We have resource to implement some of this coming
available in two to three weeks and I would appreciate feedback on these
requirements.
Interesting indeed.
Some of those requirements could be implmented using the ''aggregated''
environment (combined query, combined timeline), the others would need
a kind of super-admin plugin (in order to create new environments).
There is one feature of Trac which concerns me which is the support for
using a sub tree of a Subversion repository within Trac. The current
statement is that it must be entirely self contained. A couple of
questions:
- Can it cope with files being copied into the sub tree from outside?
- I remember seeing a post recently which said someone was about to
either remove this restriction or permit multiple repository paths for a
Trac instance. Is this the case?
That was me, I hope to find time to do it soon (probably next week).
