| | 2 | |
| | 3 | Trac is not an original idea. It owes much to the many issue tracking systems out there, and particularly the excellent [http://www.cvstrac.org/ CVSTrac] program and to its author(s). |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | The project started as a reimplementation of CVSTrac in python and an |
| | 6 | entertaining [http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html exercise], as well as toying with the [http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/ SQLite] embeddable database. Over time, [http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=Sbe6.3c12%40clarinet.com&output=gplain as is common], the scope of the endeavor broadened and brought it on its |
| | 7 | current course. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | We intend and hope that Trac be a viable platform to explore and expand how |
| | 10 | and what can be done with ''wiki-based software project managemen'' with [http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/newMethodology.html low ceremony]. |
| | 11 | |
