[haiku-web] Re: Trac (was: Website)

I'm waiting for Marcus' reply. If he is open to testing it then nothing
speaks against setting up and customizing a sample Trac install that
everyone can test.

Okay, Marcus agreed to install it and run it side by side, so we can test it. Bugzilla will stay the official bug tracker, of course, and when we all love Trac we should switch. ;)

I think less is more. Start with the absolute minimal areas and continue from there, instead of doing too much and ending up using only half of it, making ourselves confused on the way ("Where was the build customization doc again? Support -> Help, or was it Development -> Documentation?") 

I already guessed that someone would say that. :)
IMHO, it's important to separate between developers and users.
Let's see...

Maybe should add "Report Bug" to QuickLinks or above the list of closed tickets. What do you think in general. Is that the direction we should take? If we put the navbar at the top we should probably combine it with the QuickLinks.

Feel free to say "it's all crap", but don't forget to say *why* and please make suggestions to improve the design. ;) Thanks!

Bye,
Waldemar
