iLiad Dev Hub/Trac issues?

jharker · 10-24-2008, 11:20 AM

So, the iLiad OS project now has some tickets open in the Dev Hub's Trac system. From what I can see, though, Trac has some serious limitations.

Specifically, I'd like to receive email about tickets I'm working on. But Trac is not username-based. You can't put your username into the cc: field and be notified. Instead, you have to put in your whole email address every time. The same goes for the submitter field.

Am I the only one who dislikes this? I would much prefer a system where I log in and then everything is done by username. I don't really want my email address sitting around in dozens of places on an unsecured website. That's like spam-fodder waiting to happen.

Am I missing something here?

Oh. Never mind, it DOES do that. Enter your username and it sends you email, if you've registered an email address. I'm an idiot. Nothing to see here, move along.
