I'll ask this instead: Why not simply get our trac site looking like we want it, instead of having it in the hideous MacOSForge theme? Webkit is using the MacOSForge trac without all the MacOSForge stuff on it and with its own theme. We could do the same thing. I'm not aware that we have tried. I'll also give you a reason not to stand up MediaWiki on MacOSForge: It will lead to multiple wiki syntaxes in MacPorts unless we abandon trac for SVN browsing and ticketing. And I really don't want to see that. viewcvs sucks as an SVN browsers, and MediaWiki/Bugzilla/SVN have no real integration between each other. We'll loose the integration that trac brings and it is valuable. > > - Jordan > > _______________________________________________ > macports-users mailing list > macports-users@lists.macosforge.org > http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users > > -- Randall Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The rules are simple: The ball is round.
