-What is Trac great at?
+== Open source project management tool ==
+Trac is a lightweight project management tool that is implemented as a web-based application, written in the Python programming language. It emphasizes ease of use and low ceremony, and is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software open source].
+
+Ideal for managing software developments, it is flexible enough to use for many types of projects. As it's open source, if it doesn't quite fit your needs, you could always make changes yourself, write plugins, or commission someone else to do so.
 
 == Ticket system ==
-''Trac''k the progress of resolving individual bugs, issues, feature requests, and ideas - each with its own ticket number (think of a ticket in a waiting room queue system). Easily reconcile overlapping tickets (where more than one person reports the same thing). Search and filter tickets by severity, project component, version or owner (among others).

-== Online Repository Viewing ==
-Trac gives you clear and elegant code highlighting provided by Pygment. This makes finding changes very easy, and improves greatly upon the online code viewing option provided by the underlying Subversion system.

You can set milestones, and view a [TracRoadmap roadmap] of progress towards them (as well as historical achievements) in summary.

+== Online repository viewing ==
+Trac gives a highly usable browsing and management front-end for [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion], a modern open-source [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control version control system]. Trac gives you clear and elegant code highlighting and file comparison, so you can easily see how files differ. Using plugins, Trac also supports other version control software.
+
+== User management ==
+Trac has a simple [TracPermissions permission system] to control what users can and can't access.
 
 == Wiki ==
-Built-in documentation server, which can be used for developer or user resources. As it's a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki], it can be set up to allow shared editing. Uses MoinMoin syntax and magic links to tickets, reports and source.
