= 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] (or other [PluginList#VersionControlSystems version control systems]), 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. == [http://www.hosted-projects.com/trac/TracDemo/Demo Live Demo] == 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] ''(it's running an old version though, 0.10.5)''. To the opposite, the site you are currently visiting tracks the actual development of the Trac project, so '''please don't make edits here on trac.edgewall.org simply for the sake of testing Trac'''. == Good Starting Points == * Get started with the software: [[span(TracGuide,title=Starting point for Trac documentation)]], [[span(TracDownload,title=Trac is open source software\, available for download)]], [[span(TracFaq,title=Frequently asked questions)]], [[span(PluginList,title=Plugins for extending Trac)]] * Watch it evolve: [[span(ChangeLog,title=Recent changes between Trac releases)]], [[span(RoadMap,title=The proverbial road ahead)]], [[span(SeaChange,title=The long term ambitions)]] * Communicate: [[span(MailingList,title=Join the mailing lists for user and developer discussions)]], [[span(IrcChannel,title=Chat and discuss Trac or get support)]] * Get involved: [[span(TracProject,title=Learn more about the project)]], [[span(HowToContribute,title=Practical tips for providing useful contributions)]], [[span(TracTeam,title=It's their fault - well not really)]], [[span(AboutTrac,title=Links to presentation materials\, references\, etc.)]], [[span(TracDev,title=Dive into the internals of Trac)]] For a complete list of available wiki pages, see TitleIndex. == About This Wiki == This is the TracWiki, editable by its users.
