It seems to me that the opposite is true. Trac is a mature app with a huge community of people supporting it and writing plugins, including some departments at NASA. It is being used successfully for many large projects, such as GHC. It will not go away for a long, long time. Much of the Haskell community is already accustomed to Trac.
That's true.
Redmine is quite new. Based on posts and commits, it appears to be maintained by a single person. I don't know of any major project or organization that is using it yet. So I am a little worried that its future is not yet assured. And I am not sure if anyone knows yet how stable it is currently, or how it scales under load.
I'm doing some small tests and cannot say anything concrete. However, Redmine supports MySQL & PostgreSQL (besides SQLite), so that part should scale well. otoh, I am waiting quite long for Trac-0.11 to appear and based on recent post(s) from its devs on ml, it looks it is not so close. Solution for hosting for many projects, should have built-in support for multiple-projects and Trac won't have it for some time.
However, Redmine definitely looks nicer and easier to use than Trac. Please let me know if my impression of its stability and track record are wrong.
I'll try, although I cannot mimic proper scaling on my localhost with few small projects.
Also - if the Haskell community adopts Redmine, that itself could give it a big push.
I fully agree and hope someone more qualified (from Haskell community) will take a look too. Sincerely, Gour
