Hi, folks!

Shortly before Flock I came across Mozilla's current TCMS, MozTrap, and
thought it might make a good candidate for a new TCMS for Fedora.
Mozilla's production deployment is at https://moztrap.mozilla.org/ ,
their staging deployment (with newer code and a less overwhelming test
database) is at https://moztrap.allizom.org/ , and the source is at
https://github.com/mozilla/moztrap .

We spent a few hackfest hours at Flock doing a preliminary evaluation of
MozTrap. We certainly didn't make any decisions yet, but we at least
span up some test instances and played around with it a little. So far
we've found some really nice things, some that seem a bit awkward or
messy, and some where we might need to send some patches (e.g.
integrating with FAS / OpenID).
Heya,

Can we get details of nice things and messy things or is it all what piratepad contains?

We used a Piratepad to take rough notes during one of the hackfests:
http://piratepad.net/FedoraMozTrap

We also chatted to some of the upstream developers, who are available in
#moztrap on Mozilla IRC, and they seem open minded and willing to take
suggestions and patches, which is great.

Mike and Tim I think are planning to set up a sandbox deployment in "The
Cloud" somewhere - something quick and dirty and not suitable for
production, just available so we can play with the system in a shared
deployment.
will that be open for every one use?
In the meantime, if you want to check it out, it's pretty
easy to set up a local deployment following this guide:

http://moztrap.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html

what you get is not remotely suitable for opening to non-local access
(it's very insecure and would give poor performance) but it works fine
for local testing.
I tried to set it up on one of my F20 VM, but flunked, troubleshooting yet.

I'd be interested to hear what people think! My gut instinct is we're
getting to the limit of what we can do with our mediawiki-TCMS system,
and MozTrap is the best option for replacing it we've seen so far, but
we should look into it more before making any decisions.
If this decision is made, have we thought about the migration/porting of existing wiki test case/plans to tcms?

Thanks for sharing it.

Regards,
Ami
