While mediawiki might be more powerful regarding the markup it uses, we will loose one of the features of Trac: the possibility to easily link between tickets, wiki, changeset comments, and other Trac objects. Trac uses the Wiki markup nearly everywhere where someone can enter text (the tickets for example), and if we decided to use Mediawiki for the main wiki, users would be forced to cope with two different wiki markup dialects. Bottom line: personally I'd strongly vote for the Trac-internal wiki rather than Mediawiki in this case. > As wikispamming is just around the corner, we need to restrain freely > editing madwifi.org runs Trac for about three months now. We had no incident of Wiki spam so far, and only one or two incidents of minor vandalism (someone thought it would be funny to remove parts of a newbie documentation). We allow changes to anonymous users, with the exception of only a few pages. One of them is a page where I publish my public GPG key. Everything else can be edited freely. I have a bot running in our IRC channel that announces added/deleted/changed wiki pages and tickets, as well as new Subversion commits. That way it's easy to have a quick look on the changes, which can then be reverted if necessary. > and have some wiki operators (e.g. people that acknowledge > other people's wiki accounts). Accounts for Trac (which includes the Wiki) will have to be created in two (three) steps: 1. adding the account credentials to a htpasswd file 2. adding the corresponding permissions to the user via trac-admin (permission add ...) 3. (optional) The user has to log in and fill in the fields on the "Settings" page to create a valid session. Without this session his name won't occur in the drop-down list of the "(re)assign to" field of tickets. > > Also someone with trac admin please update the logo ;) See: http://lm-sensors.org/trac/wiki/TracInterfaceCustomization#ProjectLogoandIcon Needs to be done by someone with shell access to the server, write access to the trac.ini and, depending on the way Trac is installed (as CGI or using mod_python), the rigths to restart Apache.
