    2424 - [./DocumentationRequests] collects requests for topics that should be documented, so that contributors (not necessarily developers) know where to start.
    2525 - [./CompetitionSurvey] shows some of the cool stuff other similar projects are doing
     26 - [./DevelopmentProcess] contains some discussion about the development process itself
    2627
    2728Also, it could be worth looking at other wikis, BugTrackingSystem and repository browsers, and see what the users can expect from other competitor systems. Note that since the success of Trac integration model (well, CvsTrac's model actually), some of the other bug tracking systems are evolving towards more integration as well, most notably by having an integrated wiki and/or source code browser.

    29 == High Level Observations ==
    30 
    31 These are observations only, no judgement is implied. We're just trying to collect data.
    32 
    33  1. Trac core development has stagnated to a certain degree.
    34  2. A lot of the current core developers do not or cannot commit a lot of time to the project.
    35  3. Frequently requested features do not get implemented. eg. multi-project support.
    36  4. Release cycle is ''way'' too slow.
    37  5. Historically, there's effectively zero chance of a plugin getting into the core.   
    38  6. Features that users think should be "core" are not (''this is '''very''' subjective'').

    40 See some discussion of these points in the [./WhatDevelopersWant] page.
