I've been runnin Trac production on windows (from versions 0.8.4 to 0.9.x) then for various reasons I switched over Linux. All Trac development, tests etc. I've always done in Windows. Lately I managed to get Eclipse + pydev to work with Trac and that makes development very convenient. > t.e.o runs LigHTTPD, as do many popular sites.

I think hardest part might be getting all non-python code to work.

Even I should help in that one. It's easy to say that docs sucks but I don't want to help :D But as spoken in other thread 'first time user experience' is not a warm welcome. There is too many steps, too many options that you need to choose from _before_ you're familiar with Trac. It's really hard to determine is Trac "cheap" or "expensive" or even suitable. Which brings me now idea to run a questionaire about these FTUE issues. Wonder what would be best way to run questionaire where would be asked about os/httpd/plugins and how people experienced installation and tryouts. -- Jani Tiainen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
