A ​Sea Change for Trac

---

"Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are corals made, Those are pearls that were his eyes, Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a ​sea change, into something rich and strange, Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell, Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them, ding-dong, bell."

Ariel, from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest"

High Level Observations

These are observations only, no judgement is implied. We're just trying to collect data.

• Trac core development has stagnated to a certain degree.
• A lot of the current core developers do not or cannot commit a lot of time to the project.
• Frequently requested features do not get implemented. eg. multi-project support.
• Release cycle is way too slow.
• Historically, there's effectively zero chance of a plugin getting into the core.
• Features that users think should be "core" are not (this is very subjective).
