Congrats Edgewall Software

On behalf of the entire Touchstone Team, I would like to extend a sincere congratulations to the Team over at Edgewall Software, for one of their products "Trac" recently winning the UK Linux & Open Source Awards for Best Linux/OSS Developer Tool.

This award is truely deserved, and as manager of the Touchstone Development Team and a big fan of Trac, i am very happy that they have received the credit they deserve for producing, in my opinion, the best value Project Management Tool on the market.

Trac, for the uninitiated 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 is 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.

"It provides an interface to Subversion, an integrated Wiki and convenient reporting facilities.

"Trac allows wiki markup in issue descriptions and commit messages, creating links and seamless references between bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki pages. A timeline shows all project events in order, making the acquisition of an overview of the project and tracking progress very easy.

Trac really does speak for itself, and for anyone who might be considering an IT start-up, you simply cannot beat it. It's built-in support for subversion repositories, code/file browser, ticketing, wiki and plug-in systems make it simply one of the best Project Development Tools available.

Again, congrats Edgewall Software, and keep up the good work. You can learn more about Trac at the Trac Website.

Ah yes Trac, I managed a 13-man team that had three different projects (at once) for our 3rd year project subject at University. Couldn't have done it without Trac and SVN.

Also just to put the spotlight on us for 5 seconds, one of our projects went from a community project to federal by the end of 2006. Our client was originally Salvation Army and Kingston East Children's Community Centre, we have been noted by our university that the project has been recognised by the Australian Federal Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. Thus, the project could go nationally

btw, the project was to develop a touch screen eKiosk system (hardware & software) that promoted good practices for raising children and about children services available in the area of the eKiosk, the eKiosk will be seen in public at shopping centres and libraries in the next 3 months

again, couldn't have done it without Trac, I haven't done a project without Trac since the first time use
