More than a year ago I spoke with Jonas at Edgewall about ways that we could make Trac more accessible by making it effortless to set up and administer.  Finally, we got around to implementing this idea, and I think the results are good. We need to test it and we want to support the community.  So, please sign up and use the system.

The main benefit for a software developer is free and effortless Trac and Subversion hosting.  Just create a new space, set the permissions for the space, go to the Admin tab, and click the button next to “Add to this Space” - Trac.  You will immediately get a new Trac tab with links to your new Trac instance and Subversion repository.  User accounts and permissions are drawn from your Breakout team, so no further user administration is necessary.  You will see an Admin tab in Trac linking to the normal module for Web administration of the ticket system.

 

Every space actually gets its own private Trac instance and repository.  We integrated the permissions with Breakout through a custom apache module.

 

You can see how we are using this tool ourselves by searching for the Breakout Software Development space.  Trac has made a great contribution to our development process.  I thank everyone that worked on, and I hope to give back an improved end-user experience.

 

This is an early first release of Breakout – Social software to get things done.  The graphic design is not complete, and it has some problems, particularly in the flows (discussion/feeds/issues) feature.  However, the Trac/Subversion tool, the team management, and the permissions are all ready to use.  So, please use it and send me your comments.
