= Christian Boos =

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

 * '''Trac Project:''' cboos
 * '''IrcChannel:''' cboos
 * '''email:''' < christian-dot-boos-at-free-dot-fr >
 * '''Public GPG Key''' [attachment:"Christian Boos cboos@edgewall.org (0x2209F636) pub.asc"]

My main development environment is TracStandalone on Windows using PySqlite.

== Past contributions

I've completed a few [query:?owner=cboos&status=closed&resolution=fixed tickets] over the past couple years.

Some highlights...

=== Milestone [milestone:0.9]
 * TicketTypes [query:keywords~=tickettype related tickets]

=== Milestone [milestone:0.10]
 * TracDiff [query:keywords~=tracdiff related tickets]
 * TracMercurial (plugin for Mercurial)
 * InterTrac and InterWiki [query:keywords~=intertrac related tickets]
 * DatabaseBackend 

=== Milestone [milestone:0.11]
 * PageTemplates
 * VcRefactoring/BrowserQuickjump 
 * WikiContext 

=== Milestone [milestone:0.12]
 * MultipleRepositorySupport 
 * WikiRename
 * [[TracDev/Proposals/AdvancedWikiFormatting@25]]


== Next Steps ==

See TracDev/ToDo for the more immediate tasks.

Well, [query:?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=component&order=priority everything] is a bit inter-related...
I can nevertheless highlight two majors themes for the upcoming developments.

=== Wiki improvements
This will be one of the main focus for the next version [milestone:0.13].
 - WikiEngine refactoring
   * TracDev/Proposals/WikiStorage and TracDev/Proposals/WikiNamespaces 
   * TracDev/Proposals/WikiParserFormatterSplit
   * TracDev/Proposals/VerticalHorizontalParsing
   * TracDev/Proposals/AdvancedWikiFormatting
   * FlexibleWikiPageNames
 - TracDev/Proposals/AdvancedWikiOperations
   * TicketAliases
 - TracCrossReferences (simplified - only implicit cross-references) [query:keywords~=xref related tickets]

Not everything for the above will be available in the next version of course, but this gives the scope of things I'd like to achieve.

=== Rework of the data model
 - **MultipleProjectSupport**
 - **GenericTrac**
   * TracObjectModelProposal  ([query:keywords~=tracobject related tickets])
   * second stage of FieldRefactoring
 - TighterSubversionIntegration, or more generally, DistributedTrac ([query:keywords~=objectstore related tickets])

Same remark as above. Nevertheless I intend to continue to put together the basic building stones for reaching these goals.

=== Other concerns
 - Development Process Improvements - #9235, topic branches and integration branches
 - TracPerformance and TracDev/Performance
 - TracDev/Proposals/Jinja or other ways to improve template engine speed
 - SearchRefactoring
 - VcRefactoring
   * improved cache
   * commenting and reviewing support?
   * graph based revision log

=== Longer term
 - Generalized change notifications
 - AdvancedSearch
 - Oracle support
 - VcRefactoring/Controller


== Misc. ==

Topics I'm interested in (beyond Trac, but quite close as you can see):
 * Source Code Management ([http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ Hg], **[http://git-scm.com git]**)
 * Software Construction (GNU `make`)
 * Software Documentation
 * **Continuous Integration ([Bitten:])**
 * Collaborative Groupware (wikis)
 * Computer Languages ([http://www.ruby-lang.org/en Ruby],
   C++, O'Caml, Bash and ... [http://www.python.org Python])
