Hello,

I can't say much about the Scrum process and your workflow problems, since we havn't used it so far. But the following jumps into my mind when reading your blog:

What I'm missing is some efforts of backporting your achievements back into trac or even that you mention your plugins at track hacks. I know that the trac team is very "close" to enhancements (and there are always long discussion on their list about this fact). And I know also that any integration question will have to stand long discussions before someone will finally succeed or fail which can be a very frustrating. But I have not read any email from you about agile42 on trac-dev or trac. The only mentioning of agile42 is a short thread that summarizes as: "Given they don't seem to know Trac isn't an acronym, I would avoid them."

But as long as sombody will propose interfaces, there should be a reasonable chance to get this merged into trac.

Additionally there are some plugins at trac hacks that do similar things of what you did with agile42, e.g hiding of ticket fields. Why not reuse/enhance these hacks.

What I like to see as a general trac enhancement is the ability to provide the tabular interfaces to the ticket system, e.g. I could dream of a new tab that will list all related checkins with the current ticket number, and naturally the possibility to change multiple tickets in one go.

And I really think you will get a lot of attention, if you try to integrate these little things and then ask for more.

You have at least my vote for it, even if it doens't count on trac-dev ;-)

Best regards
Dirk

Thank you everybody, your feedback is greatly appreciated, we are developing **Agilo for Scrum 0.7** on Trac 0.11, and at the moment there is no real "Plan" to swap from Trac.

We will probably implement a "new" User Interface, to maximize productivity with agilo, not suer yet how this will affect the rest of the trac interface/plugins.

Unfortunately, we can't do so much if there are some plugins out there that are working only with one DB type. We are investing quite some time in keeping Agilo working with PostgreSQL and SQLite, unfortunately with MySQL we have some problems, some times, that we are not really able to scope.

For the 0.7 development we setup a continuous integration server, and a lot more of unittests, fact is that still your feedback and help is mostly needed, we will never be able to test all multiple combinations of environments... it's a fact ;-)

Thanks for contributing!

More update soon to come...

danielwt: Generally you should be able to use Agilo with trac/MySQL if you really need it. Did you have any special problems with MySQL?

Please note that we do not recommend MySQL as the trac docu has some warnings about it ("Use this only if you don't have other choice, and be warned that there can be many issues,").
