Zed, To some people the documentation of their project is of vital importance and the ability to do that self contained in Fossil is not a minor or marginal issue. Fossil works fantastic for me, the only problem I see right now is the lack of ability to easy document my project. Fossil see's this as important also as it decided to include a wiki in the first place. I see it as such an important task that when choosing between Trac or Fossil for my major projects, I will continue to use Trac simply because I can document my project easily. Until it is as easy to document it in Fossil as it is Trac, I will continue to be a Trac/Hg user. Once we can document easily in Fossil, I'm all there. and, btw, I'm not a casual Fossil user. I have contributed code to Fossil when it was first starting. I did the server TCP/IP code of Fossil to the Windows environment so that I could use the server features on Windows. So, I am all for Fossil, I just place a large importance on the developers documenting the project as well as developing the project. The idea of this being self contained in 1 tool such as Fossil is fantastic but it's not there yet, thus I started this thread.
