amuzen {l Wrote}:This is quite bad news for me since I use the Trac hosted app for my largish wiki. I preferred hosted apps over deploying and maintaining my own, and I will particularly miss people being able to use the SF.net account to log in.
On the other hand, now I have a good reason to integrate the wiki to the project website. I hope that the better site integration will be worth the pain of manually migrating those 69 articles to the slightly syntax incompatible Drupal wiki.
Note that we're going to be rolling out an OpenID service, so you should still be able to have folks authenticate to their SourceForge accounts. From the blog post:
One major aspect of this customization was the ability to authenticate against SourceForge.net accounts, and we’ll be adding OpenID support very soon in order to replace the functionality that you’d otherwise be losing here.

Most of my projects use Trac and I'm quite used to it, it will be a pain to have to manually maintain anything else or revert to SF issue tacking system.
We currently use Trac for our support ticketing system. Switching to tickets on the new SourceForge platform (codenamed
Allura). If you're interested in making a similar move, I'd be happy to compare notes if you like.
