Anticlue

The wordpress folks use this as part of their support for plugin author development.

While it seems kind of nice - I think, at least in the wordpress instance, that is kind of non-intuitive. Im sure it just depends on how it is setup and managed - but it definatly came with a learning curve for me.

However, I am liking subversion and tortoiseSVN. Previously I have used CVS (which seems slower to me than Subversion), Visual Source Safe (not too impressive), and PVCS (pretty nice). I think if I had the time to really learn about the nuances and power of either SVN or CVS I would like them both even more.

I am an avid proponent of subversion and source control for all. I have been using the EAP Debut version of SmartSVN (htp://www.smartsvn.com ). This is a great gui for svn but also has integration with Tmate ( http://www.tmatesoft.com ). I have not been able to load the site for Trak to compare, but Tmate is project to allow you to monitor the updates and changes of your project through your repository. As I am currenly a developer team of one, its not as critical for me. But in the past when managing teams of developers it would have been great to have this kind of high level view of the repository and the changes being made.

Anyway, I just thougth I would share this other tool that I had found. Keep spreading the word! SVN good!

Trac is a very useful Project Management tool that I found out while looking into Rails source trunk. The quite a number of required external packages notwithstanding, it's very easy to setup, and support documentation is quite complete. Things that I don't like about it is poor layout customization, and posted tickets are not editable.
