AFAIK we have at least one core developer running Windows almost exclusively. t.e.o runs LigHTTPD, as do many popular sites. Other known deployment options include nginx, twisted.web2, CherryPy, paste.httpserver, litespeed. There are probably even more, but I tend to lose count. While we obviously cannot force 3rd-party contributions to be platform-neutral, it is generally encouraged where possible. I will grant you that we generally say "cron" when we mean "generic time- based daemon", but then even a few popular linuxes no longer use cron itself for that ;-) I agree there is a sentiment that Trac is Linux software, and I would certainly like to reverse that whereever possible. Once interesting idea I saw on a ticket a while ago would be trying to get Trac running on IronPython or Jython. Porting Genshi is probably the hardest part of that, but it would allow us to tie in to many Windows shops' existing .NET or J2EE stack. Improving our Windows docs (at least bringing them up to the level of the other ones) would also probably help. Any volunteers? :-) --Noah --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
