. OSS Developer Tool in 2006.
Perhaps the best way to describe Trac is as a "wiki on steroids"??”the developers
themselves describe it as an "enhanced wiki and issue tracking system".

What on earth is a wiki?
A wiki, originally referred to as a WikiWikiWeb, is a web application that
allows visitors to create and modify its content. The most famous example
of a wiki in action is Wikipedia (http://wikipedia.org), which is a
collaboratively edited encyclopedia.
A wiki enables documents to be written??”usually in a markup language
intended to be easier to learn and use than HTML??”using a web browser.
Any given page in a wiki is known singularly as a "wiki page", while
the entire body of pages, is "the wiki"; in effect, a wiki is actually a
very simple, easy-to-use user-maintained database for storing and
retrieving information.
One defining characteristic of a wiki is the way individual wiki pages link to each
other, and even to pages that do not (yet) exist. These links are created automatically
by the wiki software dependent on the particular markup for that wiki. The most
common method for indicating a link to another wiki page is to use a CamelCase
word??”that is two words mashed together and Title Cased??”however, other
methods do exist.
