Rickard started an SVN repository because it was available on his Textdrive account. Before that, Rickard would handle PunBB from his own server, sort of how I go about my own projects. Transitioning to Trac takes some getting used to for a programmer who's meticulous about his code and has issues with committs that may break overall functionality.

I still don't see the problem, but it's Rickard's choice. I would think that a meticulous programmer would also be interested in versioning, but I suppose he could run a private repository for that. But being able to make commits without completely breaking your project is trivial. Besides, having an open and accessible repository makes it easier for amateurs to get involved. Personally, I stay up-to-date with the WebKit project (engine that powers Apple's browser Safari) and report bugs as I use the product.

Well yeah, but 3 months? Must be a hell of a patch.

Edit: Sorry if I'm sounding like a dick on my first day. I just hate silence from developers, and I like to have as much information as possible.

Well then WTF is the point of having trac, or subversion? Is there anything up to date?

Also, I know trac has a feature where it generates a zip file of a certain version of a branch for download, but this one doesn't seem to offer it. Basically, I'd like to play around with 1.3, so where can I get a copy?

So there hasn't been any progress since November 20?

Is there a Trac (or Trac-like) interface for the 1.3 repository? Even if we don't get estimates of when 1.3 will be done, it would be nice to see what milestones need to be completed and when progress is made on them.
