Hi Beman,
Trac (performance) isn't good, we'd like to replace it with Redmine. Is the steering committe ok with this?
The steering committee would need a short proposal document that lays out the motivation for a change, the pros and cons of Redmine vs Trac, and how the transition would be accomplished. Plus a few links to relevant info. That will give the SC something specific to vote on. Personally, Redmine seems a good choice, but I've a couple of concerns: IIUC, performance is a major motivation. A quick try with google found many assertions that Redmine was faster than Trac, but no actual performance measurements. Has performance actually been measured? I also came across a case where someone moved from Trac to Redmine, then moved back again a year later because they weren't familiar enough with Ruby on Rails, and that caused them admin problems. Is that also a likely problem for Boost? --Beman
