I don't feel Trac is that bad. I manage another similar system and manage to tie things together fairly well with sym links. > Here's where Redmine comes in.

What you appear to have done is to make the main page about the same as the Trac wiki. I agree that the look of the new system is quite nice, but you're suggesting moving the main site to what is, in Trac, the wiki page with some different customization. My concern is to ask if the learning curve is worth the benefit. Trac is, to me, like a broken in slipper. It's quite comfortable, but it's not worn out. If we were setting up a new project, I might want to use Redmine, but we manage LFS using Subversion, Mailman, and Trac and have been using those tools for about 6 years. The main web pages are standard xhtml. I'm reluctant to replace one of the main management tools. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
