It is a bit tricky.
Okay, I have indeed done this (i.e. telling GUI SVN clients to use trac.wz2100.net as its issue tracker) in the wrong order. So I'll try to continue doing it the "right" way. Now: My proposal is setting up a Trac [1] project environment to use for tracking Warzone-related bugs/issues/defects, patches, tasks and feature requests. (The environment itself is set up already, see [2]) Some of the most important options/features this would offer us are, IMHO, automatic linking (i.e. through URLs) to revisions, tickets (Trac's name for a tracker item), wikipages, etc. Trac allows wikiformatting almost everywhere (commit messages as well), which I personally think is much more convenient than Gna!'s custom markup-syntax. Additionally it is possible to actually preview things before posting them. Tracking of individual tickets can be done quite effectively as it is possible to add custom queries to find, group and sort them. These lists can effectively be embedded in wikipages or defined as custom reports. Examples of the automatic ticket tracking for individual components can be found quite easily on TracHacks [3]. See for example the bottom of the DoxygenPlugin page [4]. I've done something similar for EditWorld on the Trac environment I've set up [5]. Then there is the ability to manage tickets through commit messages. This allows one to make Trac automatically add the commit message as a comment to the mentioned ticket, it optionally allows to close the tickets with the commit message. This way a tracked bug and its fixing (or addressing) revisions will automatically be linked together (in both directions, ticket <--> revision) which allows for easier searching of them. See [6] for the required formatting in a commit message (can easily be expanded if necessary). Then lastly there's the option to make an IRC bot spam messages in #warzone on ticket creation (and optionally ticket updates) much like CIA does for commit messages right now. For this I use the IRC Announcer Plugin [7] for supybot. I've currently set up my bot to be more passive though. I.e. it allows querying of the Trac environment, just use "list trac" or "list tracbot" to see the commands it has available. For a more active example (of a "spamming" bot) see evil_twin in [EMAIL PROTECTED] So please give notice of your opinion, ask any questions, etc. That is to say, I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this.
