RE: [mylyn-dev] vote for inclusion of Trac in discovery listing

["Mik Kersten" <mik@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

+1

That's great to hear Steffen.

For those interested in background on this, Steffen earned his commit rights
by contributing the Trac connector as part of his Google Summer of Code
project.  But for many open source projects initial donations can be akin to
being given a puppy.  The puppy grows up, stops being so cute, and starts
demanding a significant support overhead.  In the case of the Trac
connector, we have taken on the support burden, but have drawn the line at
maintaining the web service APIs for the Trac server that we rely on.  With
the Mylyn Connector Discovery listing as a catalyst, Steffen kicked off a
collaboration with Odd Simon Simonsen, one of the Trac developers, who
updated the APIs to support the current release of Trac, version 0.11.
Woot!
