Well, I don't think the above reflects a consensual opinion among Trac developers. For example, a few hours ago a core developer of Trac (osimons) sent another reply expressing his interest for the topic and even shared some of his own thinking about this (thanks for doing so, btw!). In fact, I'd be interested to know who else actually thinks that: " This kind of generic data storage system just doesn't fit with the Trac design philosophy. " So far, I only know one other person who has expressed such a feeling besides nkantrowitz (it was cmlenz). Quite to the contrary, I remember that other people have expressed interest or sympathy for this idea in the past (and among the trac core developers, athomas, ecarter, osimons). Those people are welcomed to correct me if I got their position on this matter wrong, and of course the silent majority is invited to speak, as it would be quite unfair that a vocal person's opinion could be mistaken for the project's one. My personal take on the subject is that this should be freely discussed as a worthwhile design philosophy for Trac, a possible vehicle for code simplification and rationalization yet at the same time enable much more flexibility in the system. And if discussions, experiments and code show that this is a viable and desirable future direction for Trac, so it should be. -- Christian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
