doc/todo/Feature_parity_with_Trac.mdwn



It would be nice to have feature parity with Trac.  Note that it is expected that the
implementation will be quite different, but IkiWiki should support the same uses.
Features needed:

Wiki, duh.
Source code viewing: This can be handled quite well with a [[shortcut|shortcuts]] to an external source viewer, or by putting
the source in the wiki itself (see the [[todo/automatic_use_of_syntax_plugin_on_source_code_files]] wishlist item) and using the
[[plugins/contrib/highlightcode]] or [[plugins/contrib/sourcehighlight]] plugins.

This could be improved with [[todo/source_link]].
Currently the source highlighting is a little problematic, as there can be two source files with the same wikiname.
e.g. a hello-world.c and hello-world.h.  See [[bugs/multiple_pages_with_same_name]]


Trac 'Timeline' feature: view history of the RCS - the recentchanges button.
Trac 'Roadmap' feature: Which TODOs/bugs are needed for which milestones.  Use the [[plugins/progress]] directive to show percentage complete for each milestone.
Bug tracking: see [[tips/integrated_issue_tracking_with_ikiwiki]] and [[todo/Updated_bug_tracking_example]].

Queries on bug database: e.g. all open bugs that don't depend on an open bug.  See [[todo/tracking_bugs_with_dependencies]] and [[todo/structured_page_data]].


Build Status: Maybe this is just a link to an external (centralised) status board (e.g. BuildBot).
