Backport Apache Bloodhound resource neighborhood implementation

[Olemis Lang <olemis+trac@…>]

Resource neighbourhoods are aimed to connect Trac instances to external resource managers (issue trackers , build systems , …) . This ticket is aimed at :

• Proposing back ports for this feature into the Trac core
• Providing a basic implementation of neighbourhoods for sibling Trac environments .

[Olemis Lang <olemis+trac@…>]

There is a ​patch available . Initial test results seem to be ok .

This longer test run seems to confirm that there are no regressions after applying the patch .

I would appreciate a bit more detail on resource neighborhoods and what problems they solve. Are they somehow related to InterTrac and InterWiki?

Replying to rblank:

Somehow , yes … InterTrac and InterWiki is about linking to another web site using WikiFormatting . Neighnorhoods are about integrating external resources (relative to the current environment) so you also get a title , a meaningful description and so on …. plus everything that can be done with resources of course .
