Is it really that helpful? At ivtvdriver.org nobody really misses that, while there are quite a few users that are mediawiki experts and have taken the load off the developers' shoulders. After all one of the ideas of a wiki is to make it easier for users to contribute to documentation. > 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. At least tickets and any items that will be sent in notifier channels (a commit/notify list) should not contain markup. This makes it very hard to the ASCII MUA user (i.e. all od us? ;). > Bottom line: personally I'd strongly vote for the Trac-internal wiki > rather than Mediawiki in this case.
