= 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 is 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 reporting 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 current and past project events in order, 
making the acquisition of an overview of the project and tracking progress very easy.
The [wiki:TracRoadmap roadmap] shows the road ahead, listing the upcoming milestones.
