    11 version of Trac (currently 0.13dev).

    2422Then, you should read a bit, in order to get familiar with Trac's [./ComponentArchitecture], [./PluginDevelopment] and [./DatabaseApi].
    25 The TracTroubleshooting page contains debugging tips which are also quite useful during development.

    27 When you're ready hacking the code, make some modifications, see what happens, experiment. When you're about to make real changes that you want to contribute back, note that we're picky about our [./CodingStyle] and you'd better follow them when [./SubmittingPatches]. In order to be accepted, they should pass the [./UnitTests] and the [./FunctionalTests]. Ideally, you should also contribute new tests.

    2927Incidentally, discussions about Trac Development happen
    30 on the [http://groups.google.com/group/trac-dev/topics Trac-Dev]
    31 mailing list. `Trac-Dev` can also be used as an InterWiki prefix
    32 in order to refer to specific mails sent to that MailingList,
    33 e.g. Trac-Dev:1, or googlegroups:trac-dev:1b9c4e3eaeda3a0d
    34 (in the latter example, the "id" being the one of the ''Individual Message'').
    35 
    36 See TracDev/Branches and TracDev/Proposals as well as the TracDev/ToDo, for an overview of the open topics (besides the [/roadmap], of course).
     28on the [http://groups.google.com/group/trac-dev/topics Trac-dev]
     29mailing list. New development ideas are usually best discussed first on that list, it's a quick and easy way to get feedback on any given topic or question. As usual, be sure to have searched the archive first, in order to avoid rehashing old discussions. For longer term developments, or for documentation purpose, one should rather use the wiki. For referring to a mail from Trac-dev in this wiki, use the `googlegroups` InterWiki prefix e.g. googlegroups:trac-dev:1b9c4e3eaeda3a0d
     30(you can see the message identifier  in the address bar of your browser when viewing the message in Individual Message view mode; you can go there from the default threaded view by clicking on //More options// and then on the //Individual Message// or //Show Original// links).
