Comment:

 I could really use the [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiRename page
 rename] feature right now, which is in 0.12. I'm planning some page re-
 organization on osgeo4w so that the relationship between some packages and
 components is clearer. It looks like the only route I have available at
 the moment is to delete and recreate a new page with the proper name and
 paste old content. This would achieve my aim, but sacrifice version
 history.

 For the pages I'm concerned with at the moment losing history is not huge
 deal, but goes against the grain of what maintaining history is about in
 the first place.

 Other notable desirable
 [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/ReleaseNotes/0.12 improvements in
 0.12] are:
  * side-by-side mode with automatic preview
  * editable comments (with appropriate permissions). This would help clean
 up the clutter created when people add new comments just to fix a bad url
 or typo
  * there's wording about "multi-project" support, which certainly sounds
 applicable to Osgeo

 There are some
 [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/ReleaseNotes/0.12#Caveats caveats]
 none of which look serious to me, though there could be some extra work if
 any projects are using text templates.

 I understand you need to consider the impact on many places when upgrading
 a system which involves so many projects and that upgrading could take
 some time to complete. So I don't expect immediate or even soonish
 results. I would appreciate some kind of timeline if possible so that I
 can judge whether it's worth it for me to hold out or not. Thanks!
