This page and the related [wiki:SeaChange/WhatUsersWant] are for collecting information about problems with the Trac community, in order to fix them. By community we mean Trac administrators/plugin developers, end users and core developers.

== 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'').
