Trac's style (formatting) is very unfriendly to new people.
Anyone know of a option that we can change to fix this?
Main issue is, people paste whatever into the edit box, and it comes
out looking like crap since they didn't use the {{{ }}} codetags.
The other problem with our trac is, we have no fallback. If the
website/forum goes down for whatever reason, then we lose access to
trac which isn't fun for anyone.
I know that Sourceforge's trac and ours wouldn't mix, so we can't have
a mirror there.

Also, i'm absolutly unhappy with the current situation, which is nothing more than a temporary solution. As soon as I got/made the right software, and a nice theme, there will be a bigger overhaul.

You just cannot mess with the live versions yourself directly. For example if we used their trac we would not be able to add plugins (which is why I do not recommend it for trac). smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev

[warzone2100-dev] A question of wikis
Yesterday I was adding a page to the trac wiki and I noticed that it was very messy; when I asked Zarel about it he told me that we used to have a MediaWiki but that it and WordPress was dropped so less software had to be maintained. So my next question is (Zarel suggested I ask it on the list), why not use the Hosted Apps service that SourceForge has? It would mean that they take care of the upkeep so we would not have to; I set up an instance of MediaWiki on my account you can take a look if you like: SourceForge.net: dak180. Now, what's the catch you ask? (No, not ads.) Direct filesystem and database access to Hosted Apps is not provided; so i would not recommend putting trac there but we might be able to get by with a wiki.
