But trac 0.10 is almost done and there will be a couple of plugins helping out a bit more. We do use a pre 0.10 version for various reasons, but during development the abi changes and the plugins don't much up well. And for the stable trac version 0.9.x most of these plugins are not available. In short: For now we should use some workaround like creating accounts manually, and once 0.10 and the plugins ship we can automate some parts (until the spammers port auto-registration spam software for trac's wiki ...). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
