h1. Trac layout and features
Okay, so there is some initial work on structuring the Trac page heiarchy using SubWiki pages. Some plugins/macros where added as well to support the "TracNav":http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracNav navigator. In looking into this stuff I ran across "TracHacks":http://trac-hacks.org which has a huge collection of other macros/plugins/scripts for Trac.
A few of the ones that caught my attention though:
- "TracBlog":http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracBlogPlugin - Does some curious work to create individual pages that are all seperate news/blog entries and supports WikiMacros for inlining stuff like "recent news" into a page.
- "AddComment":http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AddCommentMacro - Like the old ZWiki functionality, only pages can selectively be flagged for comment support.
- "TagsPlugin":http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TagsPlugin - Tag pages with keyword associations. This is actually needed for the "TracBlog":http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracBlogPlugin.
- "FootNoteMacro":http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/FootNoteMacro - Support adding footnotes to a page. Particularly useful for the documentation section.
- "CombineWikiPlugin":http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/CombineWikiPlugin - Combine multiple wiki pages and produce a single PDF document complete with table of contents. Again, this seemed appealing for documentation work.
There are way to many plugins/macros/scripts on this site to really evaluate all of them, so I only listed the ones that caught my eye. If anyone else sees anything that looks appealing, please add it. I would like to know what everyone thought and if anyone was interested in these being added.

I turned on the AddComment macro and the FootNote macro in an attempt to see how it plays out. That and it feels odd asking for comments on a subject without some method for posting comments.

Hey... y'know, it would be awesome if y'all can track down a Section numbering macro that properly numbers and formats numbered sections and subsections. That would be good juju.
Oh, and if there was a way to link to those sections/subsections from other pages, that would swell, too... yeah...

It dawned on me that the TracNav existing on the WikiStart page was painfully redundant, so I replaced it with a NewsFlash macro box containing RecentChanges data.
