2.2. Did you copy the previous question from the MoinMoin FAQ?
Why yes, thanks for asking.
2.3. Could the Wiki perhaps get a RecentChanges page, showing the changed pages in anti-chronological order?
The timeline contains information about all the changes to Trac content. By deselecting the view ticket changes and view repository checkins boxes you can view only the Wiki changes.
2.4. I get the following error message when editing a wiki page with Trac 0.6.1:
columns name, version are not uniquesqlite version 2.8.13 has a bug in the
max()function. Either downgrade/upgrade sqlite
or use replace trac/Wiki.py with this file: Wiki.py
3. Browser
3.1. On Windows, why does Trac not display diffs?
It seems that subversion makes use of the (external) diff command. This is rarely noticed on UNIX-like systems, since diff is usually installed already. Installing diffutils should solve the problem.
