Add project table and columns

[anonymous]

The first simple step for multi-project support (#11025):

1. Add a project table.
2. Add a project column to the ticket table.
3. Add admin panel and admin commands to manage the projects.

That's already useful (better than nothing). And completely optional: Like components or severities and so on, if no entries are added to the project table, this feature is completely invisible.

The next step:

4. Add milestone.project and version.project columns.
5. Filter milestones and versions by the ticket's current project.

That makes it more useful. More steps can be postponed to later.

Maybe finally the major feature in Trac 1.5?

project_table.diff​ implements steps 1 to 3; version_milestone_per_project.diff​ step 4. Is it worth already to continue on step 5?

You could raise the topic on the trac-dev MailingList, but in general I don't favor adding little pieces of multi-project without a definite plan for implementing the whole feature. The feature will be a huge amount of work and there are many design decisions to be made, which is why it hasn't been done yet.

If you want to make some contributions to Trac there are many things you could work on that have a more reasonable scope. Let me know if you want suggestions.

Fixed some tests, added projects to version and milestone UI, and added filtering.
