Bugs in Trac (deficiencies actually)

[dallas.hockley@…]

1 The editor is not the near-WYSIWIG from tikiwiki, which was a benefit to our non-technical users 1 There doesn't appear to be a way to track a wiki page via email or RSS notifications 1 The "backlinks" and various output formats (print this page, PDF export, etc) are not supported. These are also really nice features of the tikiwiki

Other than that, the tool is actually quite capable. It's weak as a wiki, but very servicable as a bugtrack/enhancement/reporting/timeline tool.

1 and apparently wiki formatting in the bugs doesn't work as my numbered list didn't come out. :-P

1 foo

that's because the syntax for numbere lists is:

 1. foo
 1. bar
 1. baz

Gives:

1. foo
2. bar
3. baz

Note the '.'.

pseudo-WYSIWYG editing is a very good idea. See #433 for a separate ticket.

This ticket is now split into:

• #433 (wysiwyg)
• #436 (print this page)
• #150 describes the framework necessary for 'backlinks'-like functionality.
• PDF Export isn't really worth the effort. The web browser's printing facility is typically better than we could ever hope to be.
