1. Installing and Running Trac

1.2. When can we expect a Trac version compatible with Subversion 1.0? (More specifically, with the Python bindings of 1.0, because SVN 1.0 with the old bindings seems to work.)

I am using Trac with Subversion > 1.0 (compiled from source several days after 1.0 was released) without problems. If you are experiencing a specific problem, I would suggest that you open a new ticket. – MarkRowe


2. Wiki

2.1. What is a "Wiki"?

The term Wiki is a shortened form of WikiWikiWeb. A Wiki is a database of pages that can be collaboratively edited using a web browser.

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.

Note: See TracWiki for help on using the wiki.
