= Welcome to the Trac Project. =

Welcome to the [wiki:TracProject Trac open source project].

Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.
Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management.
Our mission; to help developers write great software while staying out of
the way. Trac should impose as little as possible on a team's established
development process and policies.


It provides an interface to [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion], an integrated Wiki and convenient report facilities. 

Trac allows [wiki:WikiFormatting wiki markup] in issue descriptions and commit messages, creating 
links and seamless references between bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki
pages.  A [wiki:TracTimeline timeline] shows all project events in order, making getting an
overview of the project and tracking progress very easy.

If you want to test out some of the features in Trac please use the [http://www.hosted-projects.com/trac/TracDemo/Demo demo site] kindly provided by [http://www.hosted-projects.com/ hosted-projects.com].  The site you are currently visiting tracks the actual development of the Trac project, so '''please don't make edits here simply for the sake of testing Trac'''. As an exception to this rule, the SandBox Wiki Page can be used to try out the wiki formatting.
