I'm part of the TracTeam since the 14^th^ of March 2005.

== Contributions to Trac ==

Tickets I've [query:?owner=cboos&status=closed&resolution=fixed completed], 
tickets that are still [query:?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=&owner=cboos&order=priority opened].

Past Proposals (now in Trac):
 * TicketTypes (integrated in [milestone:0.9]) [query:keywords~=tickettype related tickets]
 * TracDiff (integrated in [milestone:0.10]) [query:keywords~=tracdiff related tickets]
 * TracMercurial (plugin for Mercurial)
 * InterTrac and InterWiki (integrated in [milestone:0.10]) [query:keywords~=intertrac related tickets]
 * PageTemplates (integrated in [milestone:0.11])
 * VcRefactoring/BrowserQuickjump (integrated in [milestone:0.11])

Other Alternative Proposals:
 * FlexibleWikiPageNames, TicketAliases
 * TracCrossReferences and BackLinks (work in progress) [query:keywords~=xref related tickets]
 * TracObjectModelProposal (brainstorming in progress) [query:keywords~=tracobject related tickets]
   - GenericTrac, TracDev/JournalingProposal, TracDev/Proposals/DataModel
 * TighterSubversionIntegration, or more generally, 
   storing object changes in a VersioningSystemBackend [query:keywords~=objectstore related tickets]
 * TracDev/Proposals/WikiParserFormatterSplit
 * FieldRefactoring, SearchRefactoring
 * MultipleRepositorySupport
 * TracDev/Proposals/AdvancedWikiOperations, WikiRename
 * VcRefactoring/Controller

I also worked a bit on the DatabaseBackend refactoring and plan to add support for Oracle one day (#1874).

Besides InterTrac, I'd like to expand the support for multiple projects:
 * TracMultipleProjects/MultipleEnvironments
 * TracMultipleProjects/SingleEnvironment

My main development environment is TracStandalone on Windows using PySqlite.

== Next Steps ==

 - ~~finalize WikiContext (!ResourceDescriptor / !RenderingContext split)~~
 - ~~finalize !TimelineRefactoring (timeline entries rendering adapters)~~
 - ~~first stage of FieldRefactoring (for tickets)~~
 - '''0.11''' - it's out!
 - polishing 0.11 in [milestone:0.11.1], [milestone:0.11.2]
 - see also TracDev/ToDo

For the more ambitious (and controversial) changes, a fork of Trac is planned. [[br]]
Here's a rough roadmap:
 - VcRefactoring (improved cache, multi-repository support)
 - GenericTrac / TracObjectModelProposal
   * second stage of FieldRefactoring
   * multi-project support 
   * generalized change notifications
 - VcRefactoring (commenting, graph based revision log)
 - TracCrossReferences (simplified - only implicit cross-references)
 - WikiEngine refactoring
 - AdvancedSearch
 - Make sure all of the above works perfectly ;-)
 - '''1.0'''
 - Oracle support
 - VC Storage backend

See also TracDev/ToDo for the more immediate tasks.
