Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] Trac with Markdown

[Yuri T. <qar...@gm...>]

Sure, it does seem that they are not interested in supporting it.  But if
trac is designed well, it shouldn't be that hard to make this chance without
their support.

However, I spent way too much time today trying to install trac on dreamhost
and am ready to give up on it.  I then tried MoinMoin and remembered why I
stopped using it earlier.  I was going to try Infogami next, but the fact
that I would need to install Mercurial on dreamhost makes me suspect that
there would be a lot more of wasted time ahead.  Unless someone can suggest
some other option that I haven't considered yet, I think I'll just go and
fix the current wiki by installing a new version.
