Talk on Trac at LinuxWorld

I noticed that Steven Ellis of OpenMedia recently gave a talk on Trac at LinuxWorld.  From looking at the slides (pdf), it looks to be a good overview of Trac's features and functions, along with some tips and tricks.  I looked over the presentation to see if there's anything that could benefit our current and potential users, and was pleased to learn that a lot of the tips he offered were to do things like back your Trac up, installing the post-commit hook that links it to Subversion, and so on.  At ProjectLocker, our hosted Trac service already takes care of these tasks for you, so you can focus on running your project instead of running your Trac.  It was a good reminder as to why Trac hosting and Subversion hosting provide real value to teams, especially when integrated to other popular hosted tools. 

If you are trying to help people in your organization understand what Trac is and why you need it, this presentation isn't a bad place to start.
