You're welcome. :-)

No, it wasn't. I did not yet know about it, someone else installed it for its
Subversion-browsing abilities, and it's just been used as such until
recently.

I like Roundup more as an issue tracker. Its ability to morph each issue in an
automatic, ad hoc mailing list is unparalleled.

Nonetheless, Trac is able to send email notifications on ticket changes, even
it cannot (yet?) receive changes via email, and maybe that's enough for us,
for now. Its integration of Wiki, tracker, Subversion access and search makes
a compelling use case, and its polished web interface also makes it a
pleasure to use. :-)

I find it mildly inconvenient that they use a SQL database to store Wiki pages
and tickets, but can understand the technical reasons behind such a choice.
