We are looking for a different solution for hosting the python-
markdown project (currently on sourceforge) and want a wiki that uses
markdown for obvious reasons. The idea was to use trac, but disable
the wiki component and use django for the wiki. With this plugin, our
users could login once and report tickets, edit the wiki ect. The
problem is that the ticket system (or any other component for than
matter) wouldn't use markdown, so we've scrapped the use of trac all
together. Sure, trac allows the use of markdown within specially
formatted blocks through their macros, but we want native support by
default. Unfortunately, trac has not made that part of the system
plugable. Until they do, it's of no use to us. Oh, and it'd help if
installation was easier - talk about dependency headaches - although I
see that's improving in 0.11.

Btw, it appears markdown support appears to be the most requested trac
hack [1]. I've considered forking the wiki component so that it uses
markdown, but that still doesn't address the other components. I'd
even be willing to tackle markdown support for the special syntax
specific to trac for links between the various components, if they
made the formatter pluggable.

In any event, this is getting off topic. I'll likely post the plugin
sometime this weekend and report back here.
