Ditto TRAC Site

I was actually thinking more of squeezing money out of the people who will benefit from the improved support side on core contributions.

But yes, your way works too, and if you can build in subscription management into the big integrated dev box, so much the better.

It would be too complicated to run both QuickEdit for 0.9.x and QuickEdit for 1.0 from the same Trac, so the "convert to 1.0" stage would be the perfect point to split things off.

I actually would like to start thinking seriously about 1) removing all non-core development/code from the MODx SVN/Trac repository, 2) formalizing any major add-on projects as sub-projects in a way similar to how the Eclipse Foundation deals with this (e.g. proposal, acceptance, etc.), as well as how Mark has proceeded with Ditto (e.g. separate Trac/SVN module), and 3) consider selling early access to development SVN branches (i.e. get SVN access to the 1.0 branch in beta), private SVN branches (for contributors), and/or sub-project SVN modules with their own Trac systems at reasonable prices to help offset the cost of hosting/maintaining it. I think this approach as a long-term goal, i.e. in conjunction with the rollout of 1.0, will attract additional high-quality contributors to both the core, and the add-on projects.

I’m just not sure doing that on a purely donation basis is worth it; I’d prefer to see some kind of small membership fee help cover the costs.

Sounds good to me!

Great job on the Trac site Mark... Like it a lot! I’m also all for what you said Jason.

Amazing, now we have it themed

Couldn’t we use this theme on the main Trac site too ?

Of course! If the big cheese’s say ok I can have it running in 5 minutes flat.

gofer it!

Done!

Zi,

Can you whip up a MODx header image (same as top of this page) with Ditto as the title? Thanks!

Didnt I give you the file before?

BTW: now Trac site is looking really good ...

Mark, could you please keep the ditto project in synch in the Main MODx project too... no one knows how to access the repository right now that I’m aware of and I don’t recall the address. Thanks my man!
