[Project-managers] Mind your Trac pages

[Robin Lougee-Heimer]

How does the world locating the Trac pages?  There's no direct links to 
them on the project page, http://www.coin-or.org/projects.html. 

Is the site design for each project to have it's own webpage, and a 
pointer to the project's Trac page to be posted there?

thanks,
Robin

[Project-managers] Mind your Trac pages






If your project has a Trac page (every project in Subversion does, and 
most that don't already will shortly), it would be a good idea to check in 

on it every so often to make sure the content is OK.  Remember that Wikis 
are open to editing by anybody so there is no sure-fire protection against 

nefarious content modification.  Unlike tickets, Wiki pages in Trac have 
no way to notify you when pages are modified.

We've had a couple of incidents of bots replacing our Trac home pages with 

spam.  If your page has serious problems with these automated attacks, we 
can put measures in place that can slow them down, but it would still be 
possible for human indivduals to edit the pages.  We are an open 
community, so I think that closing Wiki pages to all editing by community 
members should be a last resort.

Thanks for your diligence.
