it would be good for trac to be made a bit more visible on the website
from the main page. the internals 'tab' is a bit cryptic and isn't a
very common metaphor.

It is obvious on the mapguide-users list that a lot of people aren't
aware of trac

it is one of the best things about open source software is having
access to trac and subversion, it should be promoted.

Trac should be listed here with link to the milestones
