Got it, I won't turn the thread into a Trac commercial. Well, you know all
these features, and you've probably run into admin issues with larger
projects that I haven't yet encountered in my own.

The main impression is that Trac is a good environment for newcomers to browse
project activity. I think it attracts people to a project's development
process.

Highlights seem to me to be the post-commit-hook ticket workflow, and the
side effect that such commit messages link changesets directly to (and are
linked from) tickets.

Webadmin makes some trac admin delegation feasible. Unified search of tickets
and changesets is useful.

The milestone view's graphical sorting of ticket completion, by component,
per milestone can be a good indicator for users who are asking about release
schedules.
