Do you guys think that the Docs Project would be benefited if it was hosted on Trac? -d -------- Αρχικό Μήνυμα -------- Subject: Some activity on Fedora Hosted Projects Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 12:50:18 -0500 From: Jesse Keating <jkeating@xxxxxxxxxx> To: fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx One of the things identified at the summit was that we wanted to provide some soft of hosting for projects. This wouldn't necessarily be Fedora specific projects, but being able to use your Fedora accounts to get something going quickly, with source control etc. would be highly valuable. Since I needed some project space for pungi, I started looking at what was around, and gave Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) a serious look. It's picked up the ability to use an hg repository, which is pretty important to me, and there is the beginnings of git support, perhaps enough to make use of it now. Add to that the ability to tie into our existing accounts system for authenticated actions, and the ability for a project admin to make changes to the project all through the web makes trac a pretty compelling choice for software to manage our hosted projects. There seems to be a fairly decent community around Trac and solid community contribution to the project itself so there seems to be some sustainability there. For a proof of concept, I setup a xen guest with FC6, tossed trac on there in a multiproject configuration and added pungi as one of the projects. I'm going to approach some of the other psuedo hosted projects we've got going on to see if they would be interested in playing in the proof of concept land. I also created a wiki page to cover this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/ProjectHosting I'd like some input from the board if this is the right direction envisioned for project hosting, and if any more effort (now or later) should be spent in this direction. For me, I got project space for pungi. I still have a few hoops to jump through before it's really useful (moving the actual hg repo of pungi to a new location, changing documentation, etc..) but its a good start. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos@xxxxxxxxxx, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
