We currently cannot set the description through the admin
interface, but can only do so through Trac. Hopefully this will be addressed in a
future release. The description supports wiki formatting.
It should come as no surprise now that Trac can link to milestones as
well as queries, tickets, and wiki pages. We need to use the milestone:
prefix to indicate that it is a link to a milestone.
Using milestones to group our tickets together allows us an instant view of progress
and, if we are using components, where to focus our efforts to meet our targets.
Tracking Our Tasks
[ 58 ]
Summary
In this chapter we explored the fields that make up tickets in Trac, how to customize
them to suit our needs, and how to report on our tickets so that we can manage them
effectively. Now that we are familiar with tickets, in the next chapter we will take a
look at Subversion??”how to use it to separate our development efforts, and finally
how it integrates with Trac through the source code browser.
Version Control 101
Although we will do our planning and project (task) management within Trac, the
title is concerned with managing software development, which actually includes
developing something. We can't (yet) develop software in a wiki??”no matter how
good it is! Therefore it's time now to leave the safe??”and now hopefully familiar??”
confines of Trac and look elsewhere.
