Hello!

To be frank I'm really frustrated by the SourceForge (SF) bug tracker (and SourceForge in
general). For me it is very uncomfortable to use it and it hurts the eyes. The last issue
I had with SF was today when I couldn't decide how to mark a bug which I refiled upstream
(to Sword), because I could find any option to mark it properly (e.g. "RESOLVED UPSTREAM"
in some bugzillas). If it were up to me, I'd choose BugZilla or Trac over SF any time.

Whats your opinion?

Anyway, this made me think about which I find to be better - BugZilla or Trac - and I
realized, that using Trac could actually be a good thing for us, because it has:
 * Support for SVN/Git/Hg/Bzr/Perforce/Darcs (with multiple projects support)
 * Tickets (bugs, issues, tasks etc)
 * Project management (roadmap, milestones etc to which we can assign tickets to; could
replace TODO in wiki)
 * Wiki (could replace our current wiki; current wiki needs restructuring anyway)
 * Timeline(s) for recent activity (commits, tickets, wiki changes etc)
 * Source code browsing
 * RSS feeds
 etc...

And since we have Python gurus amongst us, they could extend Trac to our needs. Personally
I feel that in the long term this would increase our productivity quite a lot, if we were
to have Trac directly at http://devel.bibletime.info/. Although making it use a remote SVN
repository could be a bit complicated (http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/493).
