Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.

Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management. Our mission; to help developers write great software while staying out of the way. Trac should impose as little as possible on a team�s established development process and policies.

All aspects of Trac have been designed with one single goal, to simplify tracking and communication of software issues, enhancements and monitoring overall progress.

Here are some key features of "Trac":
An integrated system for managing software projects
An enhanced wiki
A flexible web-based issue tracker
An interface to the Subversion revision control system
software issues
bug reports
feature requests
overall progress over time
project tasks
source code changes
documentation / wiki text

At the core of Trac lies an integrated wiki and issue/bug database. Using wiki markup, all objects managed by Trac can directly link to other issues/bug reports, code changesets, documentation and files.

Around the core lies other modules, providing additional features and tools to make software development more streamlined and effective. Our goal is to help programmers focus on the important stuff: Developing software.

Having a network of links between issues/bugs/tasks, code changes and wiki text makes the big-picture perspective of a project truly accessible at any time, and it becomes easy to quickly get up-to-speed on the.
