Essence: - Deletion of valid defect reports on trac community resources The “WikiInclude” plugin is not recognised on trac 0.11, thus I took a look an made a small addition to the setup.py (the entry\_point). Other users have the same problem, thus I filed a ticket in the “trac- hacks” community resource. Mr. Noah Kantrowitz closed the ticket as “invalid”. My comments within this ticket are deleted, directly in the database, which is the same as censorship. I’ve copied the email-notification from my comment below. [1] Please realize: - this is a real-live defect, which remains unprocessed, thus more users run into this trouble. - My attemps to inform users in the user-threads do not show up in all threads (moderation on trac-users!!!) - The “IncludeMacro” is not compatible to the “WikiInclude” macro - My comments were deleted in a non-trackable way - Users of the WikiInclude plugin are not informed in any way You are may wondering why the trac project fails to produce a stable 1.0 version since years. The answer is here: [http://case.lazaridis.com/wiki/TracAudit](http://case.lazaridis.com/wiki/TracAudit) - [1] ## #2294: Plugin is not detectd on trac 0.11 (even the 0.11 specific one) ## ±------------------------------------------ Reporter: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid | Owner: yu-ji Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Component: WikiIncludePlugin Severity: critical | Resolution: Keywords: | Release: 0.11 ±------------------------------------------ Changes (by removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid): - status: closed =\> reopened - resolution: invalid =\> - summary: Missing “entry\_point” within setup.py =\> Plugin is not detectd on trac 0.11 (even the 0.11 specific one) Comment: (Mr. Kantrowitz. This is defenitely a defect, which occoured for several users. The provided information helps any user which hits on this ticket via a search. I ask you once more to stop with the deletions on this ‘’‘community’‘’ resource). The resolution “invalid” is incorrect. The problem exists for me ‘’‘and other’‘’ users, see e.g.: - [[http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users/browse\_frm/thread/](http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users/browse_frm/thread/) de454e7dcf9f0438/d9806ad4a31a14a7 thread 1] - [[http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users/browse\_frm/thread/](http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users/browse_frm/thread/) 2ccf4b2855a6f242?q=WikiInclude& thread 2] I’ve solved it whilst simply adding the entry point to the setup.py. It is ok to point to the more flexible and maintained “IncludeMacro”, but other people possibly just want to continue to use the simpler “WikiInclude” one. I suggest the maintainer of “WikiInclude” (or another developer) corrects the setup.py in the repo, and additionally one should place a note in the “WikiInclude” documentation, that there’s a more flexible “IncludeMacro” available. ---

If you need something more 0.11 compatible, try the IncludeMacro.” [http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/2294#comment:1](http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/2294#comment:1) This is of course completely nonsense. I don’t want to use the complex and buggy “IncludeMacro”. The “WikiInclude” can be corrected with just one line. But ok, let’s take a at Mr. Noah Kantrowitz creation, the “IncludeMacro”. Does it work with 0.11? He does not know, thus he asks: “What about the current version doesn’t work in 0.11?” [http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/2310#comment:3](http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/2310#comment:3) who received this question? A user, which has provided a 0.11 implementation of the plugin: " - summary changed from [patch] 0.11 patch to 0.11 version of IncludeMacro. Well, there’s certainly no need to get snippy over semantics 😉 There wasn’t a version of IncludeMacro for 0.11, so I created one in the hopes that other Trac admins might find it useful – humblest apologies for erroneously referring to my submission as a “patch”. Having said that, if you feel so inclined as to review my version, then that would be superb, as I’m sure potential future users would feel much better if my contribution had your blessing and/or fixes. " [http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/2310#comment:2](http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/2310#comment:2) Other tickets remain completely unprocessed, although they give an answer to his question “does it work on 0.11”: “The macros.py of Includewikimacro contain : macro = WikiProcessor? (self.env, ‘Include’) for the rendering of the wiki page. Whereas now with the version 0.11, the function WikiProcessor?() nead a formatter as first argument and not anymore an environment.” 08/27/07 05:13:21 changed by sibok@tis\*\*\*.fr [http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/1973](http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/1973) Mr. Noah Kantrowitz does not care about the trac users, otherwise he would update the svn of the WikiInclude macro and the documentation to inform users, instead of violently closing a valid ticket as an invalid one. A few more wild-west CODERANGERS like Noah Kantrowitz can ruine the already very slow progress of the trac-project completely. User comments and user feedback is critical for any open-source project. Engouraging contributions, instead of surpressing them is essential. Trac-Users, please do not accept such a surpressive behaviour - it costs your time.
