As y'all may know, the user interface in Trac at the moment is built
using Genshi template. Would using bootstrap involve ripping out that

I would be for this if it meant increased speed rendering the UI. As
awesome as Genshi is, its design does not lend itself to super-fast
template processing. [1]

-1 for removing Genshi . Trac is tightly coupled to that templates
system . There was a discussion about this subject in ( trac-dev |
trac-users ) MLs months ago and I go -1 for that . Maybe at a later
phase ... and honestly I don't recommend doing so (but final decision
involves much more reasoning by many people paying attention to some
other details ;) .
... just my $0.02

So it's not a replacement UI template engine then? Just trying to
understand how Bootstap fits in.
Well, it looks to me like it is not about templating so much as css and
javascript. If so, there is nothing to stop us as long as we don't
remove aspects of the html that plugins currently depend on. If by using
bootstrap we are able to lower the barrier to plugin creation, it seems
worthwhile.
If I have made any sense there then I think this is definitely worth
looking into further.
