Trac Roadmap

This is the roadmap for Trac development and releases. It serves to give an overview on what where we're heading and what we wish Trac to become.

Design Discussion

As Trac is getting more mature, several redesign or major enhancement proposals are currently taking place:

• TracPluggableModules — How to improve upon the current modular design?
  • TracReleaselist — Proposed module/plug-in that highlights the importance of TracPluggableModules
• Trac NewWorkflow — How to improve upon the current workflow?
• Trac and its backends:
  • VersioningSystemBackend — How to deal with multiple versioning system backends?
  • TighterSubversionIntegration — About reusing the underlying versioning system for Trac's own versioning needs
  • DatabaseBackend — How to deal with multiple database backends?

Planned Enhancements

Note: This page is not a detailed list of upcoming changes and enhancements. The purpose is more to give a big-picture perspective on where we're going.
