Others have likely provided you with many answers, and they all look valid and useful. Don't get your hopes up for much more. There is no "Trac corporate pitch presentation" for 'selling' Trac to corporate settings... I can only speak for myself, but I have a large vested interest in the Trac community. I help out with Trac + maintain own plugins and plugins of others, see http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/osimons for an overview. I use all of it on a daily basis, and have a long term perspective for maintaining as I use it all of that (and some more) to operate http://www.coderesort.com - a hosted Trac/Subversion service that primarily targets corporate customers. Good luck with the pitch! It really is a nice piece of software :-) :::simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
